Bomb Cyclone brings blizzard to Midwest

Bomb Cyclone

Luke 21:25-26 “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Important Takeaways:

  • Potential Pre-Christmas Bomb Cyclone Could Bring Blizzard Conditions In Midwest, High Winds In East
  • A major storm will track through the Midwest, Northeast and South through the end of the week.
  • The heaviest snow will target the Great Lakes, with over a foot possible for some.
  • High winds capable of tree damage and power outages could blast much of the Plains, Midwest and East
  • Severe travel impact because of snow, wind and cold is expected from through at least Friday or Saturday.
  • As a rule of thumb, meteorologists refer to a strengthening low as “bombing out” or undergoing bombogenesis if its minimum surface pressure drops by at least 24 millibars in 24 hours or less, though that criteria also depends on a storm’s latitude.
  • Meteorologists frequently discuss pressure in terms of millibars, rather than inches of mercury.
  • The reason this all matters beyond just a weather geeky statistic is the lower the pressure in a storm, the more intense it is. And the greater difference in pressure over an area, the stronger the winds.
