An urgent weather warning has been issued for eight East Coast states with a bomb cyclone expected to unleash hurricane conditions in the region.
Meteorologists predict that states from Maine to New York will see the worst impacts, with dangerous flooding and widespread power outages predicted to start on Wednesday evening.
A bomb cyclone is a meteorological term for a storm between the tropics and polar region that rapidly strengthens over a 24-hour period, often leading to considerable damage.
This super-charged storm will bring wind gusts of up to 60 miles per hour, as well as torrential rainfall of eight inches in places, which will be amplified by an atmospheric river stretching 2,000 miles along the coast.
An atmospheric river is a long and narrow region of the atmosphere that carries warmth and moisture from the tropics toward Earth's poles.
The East Coast has been hit with unseasonably high temperatures this week, with New York City topping 61 degrees on Wednesday, 30 above the December average.
'The impactful nature of the storm in coastal areas of the Northeast will be like a landfilling strong tropical storm or hurricane,' AccuWeather meteorologists stated.
The heavily populated metro areas of Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Providence, Rhode Island, and Hartford, Connecticut could see significant urban and small stream flooding, according to AccuWeather.
'The risk for significant flooding will be further amplified across the higher elevations of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine where there is a considerable snowpack of several inches on the ground,' AccuWeather meteorologist Jonathan Porter warned.

That was my first thought...hopefully permanently
Back in the day it was called winter.
Bomb cyclones. Atmospheric rivers. Arctic blasts.
END GLOBAL WEATHER NOW!
WOW!
I need to go buy milk and bread.
that blows...
Don't forget eggs, and gallons of water.
It’s called a “blizzard”.
“””bomb cyclone”””
I guess this is what you get after spending a bunch of money to get a journalism degree. Namely, calling what used to be a winter storm is now a bomb cyclone.
A ‘ blizzard’ is snow not rain!
WTF is a bomb cyclone?
“Don’t forget eggs, and gallons of water.”
And TP. Lots, and lots, and lots of TP.
Nope. All part of the Left's relentless unburdening of what has been.
(bomb cyclone)
It’s just not going to matter The Day After Tomorrow
Or two days before the day after tomorrow
Cows reaction, “Not this crap again!”
BOHICA. Mother Nature can be a beotch. Just think the streets and sidewalks will be clean so the homeless wonât have to watch where they step. The silver linings just never end. đ
Heavy rain is now a BOMB CYCLONE!
Enough already.
I need a program to keep up with all the new scary names for the same old things.
Bomb cyclone sounds so scary. They used to be called âstormsâ and really bad ones were called âbig stormsâ. We had an atmospheric river and a bomb cyclone along with the last polar vortex. It rained for a couple of days , then it was really nice out.
If the drones continue to fly in those conditions, we have a bigger problem than we ever thought.
