Yea,

It is just a drop in pressure that is very impressive.

It will indicate a severe change of weather.

Back in the day Tornado or Hurricane warnings covered it.

Blizzard warnings as well.

But a bomb cyclone is not necessarily a tornado or hurricane.

It’s just a generic synoptic low whose center pressure drops rapidly a certain amount in a 24 hr period.

And it usually does come with strong, damaging winds as any steep pressure gradient would.

I used to put in the mb readings on a RADAR every morning.

It was a long range high power system that had hundreds of miles of range. It would help with curvature.

Something strong with a 30mb drop would get missed.

Old school back in the 80’s.
