California Bomb Cyclone!
Bomb cyclones have a rather evocative name, which comes from their explosive formation. As cold and warm air collide, it causes a drop in pressure that can rapidly intensify over 24 hours. If the pressure drops at least 24 millibars in 24 hours, the storm is classified as a bomb cyclone.
The one hanging over the West coast will drop from 1,000 millibars to less than 950 millibars from tonight to Tuesday night.
