A powerful extratropical cyclone developed c. November 18, 2024, in the Northeast Pacific and struck the Western United States and Western Canada. [9] [10] The storm underwent bombogenesis, rapidly dropping its central pressure [11] to a record-tying level of 942 millibars (27.8 inHg). [9]
The “anomalously strong” storm system was considered a “bomb cyclone,” which occurs when a cyclone intensifies rapidly. Another, albeit weaker, bomb cyclone may develop and rapidly ...
A satellite image loop shows the bomb cyclone approaching British Columbia and Washington state on November 19, 2024. (NOAA/CIRA) Winds gusted as high as 85 mph in Oregon and 101 mph were reported ...
Northeast Pacific bomb cyclone may refer to one of the following: November 2014 Bering Sea cyclone; October 2021 Northeast Pacific bomb cyclone;
A bomb cyclone is a storm that strengthens so fast that the central atmospheric pressure plunges 0.71 of an inch (24 millibars) or more in 24 hours or less. The central pressure in Tuesday's bomb ...
Explosive cyclogenesis (also referred to as a weather bomb, [1] [2] [3] meteorological bomb, [4] explosive development, [1] bomb cyclone, [5] [6] or bombogenesis [7] [8] [9]) is the rapid deepening of an extratropical cyclonic low-pressure area. The change in pressure needed to classify something as explosive cyclogenesis is latitude dependent ...
Bomb cyclone strikes: 2 dead, widespread power outages in Washington. A fallen tree sits atop a fire department vehicle after a powerful storm hit the Pacific Northwest and western Canada, causing ...
A bomb cyclone occurs during the rapid intensification of a cyclone located between the tropics and the polar regions, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It can happen when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, which is something that can occur over ocean waters, the agency says. The measurement needed to ...
