Research Scientist Judah Cohen speaks to CNN’s Laura Paddison and Brandon Miller about the potential for El Niño to drive away cold air from the current weakened polar vortex. There’s an assumption that “El Niño is kind of this runaway freight train, and nothing’s going to get in the way of it,” says Cohen. But “whether there’s cold air or not will depend on the behavior of the polar vortex.”
