Europe's weekend #BombCyclone to rival B.C.’s intense storms

"Canada has been no stranger to weather bombs this season. British Columbia is in the midst of its second bomb cyclone in one week—another intense storm hitting the same areas affected by hundreds of thousands of power outages just days earlier.

"While B.C.’s second storm won’t grow as strong as the first, another storm out in the Atlantic Ocean could rival that first storm’s monstrous strength.

"Storm Bert is brewing in the northern Atlantic Ocean, and it’s got its eyes set on the British Isles heading into this weekend.

"The storm’s minimum central pressure is expected to drop a whopping 40-50+ mb in just 24 hours. This swift strengthening would more than double the criteria needed for bombogenesis, the process of rapid intensification that creates a bomb cyclone."

The Northeastern US is not immune from #BombCyclones...

From March 2022: A bomb cyclone could slam eastern U.S. Saturday with wintry blast

Strong winds to rock much of eastern U.S. amid plummeting temperatures, with possible blizzard conditions in interior Northeast

"Despite record highs in the 70s and 80s in the eastern U.S. on Monday, winter looks like it’s not over yet. A probable bomb cyclone will take shape along an Arctic front sweeping toward the East Coast late Friday into the weekend.

"Temperatures will plummet as winds rage and, from the central Appalachians to the interior Northeast, significant snowfall is probable. Blizzard conditions could even develop in some areas."

#ExtremeWeather #ClimateChange

I've been seeing headlines about #winery traffic being down sharply this year. But they mostly overlook that Q1 of 2023 was unusually cold and wet. At #TablasCreek we had 20 rainy days in March, and only 1 weekend day that was not raining and over 60F. Headlines were all about #floods and #BombCyclones and evacuation warnings. It's a wonder our traffic was only off 22%! Traffic is up vs. 2022 since April 1st.

I dove into it in a new blog. https://tablascreek.typepad.com/tablas/2023/04/are-tasting-room-sales-really-falling-off-a-cliff-not-exactly-.html

Btw here is a playlist of footage, satellite video, and documentaries about Synoptic Cyclonic Windstorms though most will be Tropical Cyclones giving those storms are my favourite type and thus I tend to focus on more.

PL: Cyclonic Windstorms(Tropical, Subtropical, Extratropical) ― https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyF0SZSNWZZxYvXAtYOGT21uIB-cUIIoJ

Description: A collection of videos on Cyclonic windstorms, on the ground, and space view as well as Documentaries & Docudramas. Cyclonic windstorms in this playlist will be defined as Synoptic Scale Cyclonic windstorms, and will not included smaller meteorological phenomenon like Supercells, or Tornadoes.
Tropical Cyclones (aka Typhoons, Hurricanes, Tropical Storms, or Cyclones depending on their intensity and location of occurence), Subtropical Cyclones (aka Hybrid Cyclones, Subtropical Storm, Tropical-Baroclinic Cyclones, Australian East Coast Lows/Cyclones), Polar Lows/Polar Hurricanes [Actually a mesoscale cyclone but will be included here], and Extratropical Cyclones (Nor'esters, European Windstorms, Bomb cyclones)

A Bomb Cyclone is another name given to Extratropical or Midlatitude Cyclones, though only if it undergoes Explosive Cyclonegenesis; they can be just as powerful as their Tropical Counterparts but can occur any time of the year in both hemispheres but typically occuring during the colder months due to greater temperature gradients between the Tropics and Polar regions.

Bomb Cyclones if move into warm waters >21-24ºC they can become Hybrid Tropical/Baroclinic Cyclones (aka Subtropical Cyclones, or Subtropical Storms), and if the water is greater than 26.5ºC it might become full Tropical Cyclone (aka Tropical Storms, Hurricanes, Typhoons)
