A powerful storm will develop off the Southeast coast this weekend amid brutal cold. This bomb cyclone will bring snow and strong winds to parts of the East Coast as it moves north.
The largest nontropical bomb cyclone on record since 1958 struck over the northern Pacific Ocean on New Year’s Eve from 2020 into 2021.
The “bomb cyclone” about to wallop the East Coast has been referred to as a bombogenesis by meteorologists — leaving many scratching their heads. It’s also left Americans still digging themselves out of a foot or more of snowfall from last weekend’s Winter Storm Fern, worrying about being buried by another few inches.
