A “Bomb Cyclone” Is Set To Detonate Off The East Coast<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis storm developing off the Southeast coast will meet the meteorological criteria of a \u201cbomb\u201d as it rapidly intensifies<\/strong>. The signal for a storm has been evident since last week, but as the track has been fine-tuned, impacts to the I-95 corridor are now expected. Snow, strong winds, and very cold temperatures are expected particularly the further east one heads,\u201d said Ed Vallee, meteorologist at Vallee Weather Consulting LLC.<\/a><\/p>\n

Winter Storm Grayson, a very large and powerful winter storm<\/a>\u00a0is threatening the East Coast of the United States with heavy snow, intense winds, and record-setting\u00a0low temperatures. Winter storm watches and warnings have been issued for many coastal regions in north Florida\u00a0to Maine from Wednesday\u00a0into late Thursday.<\/p>\n

This week’s storm may end up being worse than your average nor\u2019easter, according to Bloomberg<\/a>. It could produce a \u201cbomb cyclone,\u201d otherwise known as a bombogenesis, a phenomenon that occurs when a system\u2019s central pressure drops steeply – 24 millibars or more – in 24 hours<\/strong>. If current computer models hold, that\u2019ll start to happen somewhere off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and continue as the storm moves north. Hurricane-force wind warnings have been posted off the coast where ships could encounter winds of 80 miles (130 kilometers) an hour and waves as high as 26 feet on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real apex, the peak of the storm, will be Cape Cod to Nova Scotia,\u201d said Gregg Gallina, a forecaster at the U.S. Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.<\/p>\n

This particular storm, which is currently developing off the coast of Florida, will devour enough warm water that it could be considered a winter hurricane by the time it leaves the Mid-Atlantic coast late Wednesday.<\/p>\n
