Polar Vortex Look-Alike To Bring Unseasonable Temperatures

It's the dog days of summer, but don't tell that to Mother Nature. A polar vortex look-alike is headed toward the Eastern U.S. and will bring unseasonable temperatures across the area early next week.

The blast of cold air is expected to move in from the Gulf of Alaska, similar to the Polar Vortex that swept the area in January.

"When you put the maps side-by-side, it does have a similar look to what we saw over the wintertime. Just remember though, air masses are different temperatures even if they come from the same place," says ABC7 Meteorologist Brian van de Graaff.
