Cold Weather Pattern Setting Up For Early to Mid January

Atmospheric models are in consensus that a large upper level low, called the polar vortex, will sink south into the Great Lakes region late this week as shown below. Counter clockwise flow around this upper level low will usher cold air across the northern plains. As a result, the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) has forecast a 70% chance of below normal temperatures in the 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks from Jan. 8th-12th and Jan. 10th-16th across North Dakota, as depicted by the dark blue shading in the temperature outlooks shown below. CPC has also forecast a 50-70% chance of above normal precipitation across all of western and central North Dakota from Jan 8th-12th and a 30-40% chance of above normal precipitation from Jan. 10th-16th, depicted by the green shading in the precipitation outlooks below.

Considering we have been around ten degrees below normal for quite a bit of this month, is the forecast for below normal temps really a surprise?

Nope, they had pretty good confidence that we'd be below average the entire winter.
