Winter could feature a tug-of-war pattern between the Polar Vortex and Super El Niño

This winter could be one for the record books as Super El Niño and the Polar Vortex go head-to-head.  With a predicted warmer winter ahead, the Polar Vortex may break down earlier than ever, sending cold air into the U.S. in late November or December. Only time will tell if Super El Niño with its warmer-than-average winter will come out on top or if the Polar Vortex will win out.
