This comes from the term bombogenesis. The malabar being the metric unit for measuring pressure. It could also occur at almost any time of the year. Is most common between the fall and the spring. Now you can while your friends with a history lesson. The super storm of march 1993, a prime example of bombogenesis. The storm strengthened by 33 millibars in 24 hours. That beats the one malabar per hour criteria. February 2016, 65 mileperhour massachusetts. February 2013, 83 mileperhour winds were reported on long island. In october 2015, an alltime low pressure reading all the way up here in minnesota. Last piece of trivia, if you think this is a hurricane in the wintertime, it is not. Even though this will likely have ice tomorrow, the core is colder than a hurricane. It could occur over land or the great lakes, but most often over the ocean. There you go, a little explanation of a big drop in pressure. Wusa9. I had guessed earlier that a bomb cyclone is what happens in the Weather Office when we are hoping for 18 inches of snow and it snows only a little bit. Thats actually true. To put this into perspective , the storm could have that of sandy, if you do category hurricanes by pressure alone, it could be a category two or three. Things came out well today. W get a bomb cyclone, a high of 35. I was hyping it up for you. On your height girl. We are going to go 30 tomorrow. Its cold in the 20s. I didnt bring out the bread all matter the bread meter. We will give it a to. 8 on the impact there of the meter. Taking a live look outside. There it is, a town. You have to admit thats nice looking. They will probably have four inches or so in leonard county. You are not under winter storm warning yet. Get ready. The good news, theres a lot of salt on the road. Its going to be a dry fluffy snow. 30 degrees right now. A little bit of snow being reported at the airport. Dewpoints have come up to 18 degrees, humidity is 15 . Its been snowing above us for a while. Little troubling. Its staying pretty well. You see the blue bands, the heavier bands of snow. We will see how far inland they get. I do not think they will make it to 95 but even so we are looking at onetwo inches near 95. John henry was in leonards town earlier, a good band of snow around 2 35 where the bullseye is going to be in terms of the metro area. The real bullseye will be where bitler were blizzard warnings are in effect. Mary and county could see a winter storm warning before this is all said and done. We had blizzard warnings to maine, all the way down to the little tip of north carolina. So, the critical time is now until 9 00 a. M. Across the metro area. A large margin of snow will be over by 9 00 in the area. Most of the snowfall is overnight here. It will continue throughout the day tomorrow and tomorrow night. Winds will be 35 Miles Per Hour and plus. Saturday, through saturday, windchills will be below zero degrees by friday morning. Leesburg, and inch, rock stale, maybe two, maybe three downtown. 78 across the bay. Our friends in Westmoreland County are looking at 48 inches. A good deal of snow for you.
