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 ...
A powerful extratropical cyclone developed c. November 18, 2024, in the Northeast Pacific and struck the Western United States and Western Canada. [10] [11] The storm underwent bombogenesis, rapidly dropping its central pressure [12] to a record-tying level of 942 millibars (27.8 inHg). [10]
The bomb cyclone had a minimum central pressure of 942 millibars (27.8 inHg) at its peak, making it the most powerful cyclone recorded in the Northeast Pacific. [2] The system had severe impacts across Western North America, before dissipating on October 26. The storm shattered multiple pressure records across parts of the Pacific Northwest ...
A bomb cyclone's winds can reach hurricane force - 74 miles (119 km) per hour - and stronger. These storms tend to form during winter and can spawn copious amounts of precipitation.
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 bomb cyclone, which is created through a process known as bombogenesis, is a severe winter storm. Essentially a "winter hurricane," a bomb cyclone occurs when a storm rapidly intensifies, and ...
Northeast Pacific bomb cyclone may refer to one of the following: November 2014 Bering Sea cyclone; October 2021 Northeast Pacific bomb cyclone;
Atmospheric rivers provide the moisture, and the bomb cyclone provides the intensity and increased winds. The major event this week has rainfall totals upwards of 10-20 inches in some spots.
