There is a vortex over the Dakotas, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana that is persistent. It is not moving on and will continue to maintain the pattern of weather adversely effecting the country. The ridge that is causing deadly tornadoes is off the equator and persistent. I just don't see this system moving on any time soon.
There is another massive weather system off the west coast and it will continue to bring harsh wet weather.
That Dakota vortex continues to visit very cold air north of it and brings it down into the US. That circulating cold air is forcing the air mass from the equator to persist.
Governors need the long view.
