Up to 50m people could be affected by back-to-back bomb cyclones that will release rain, snow and powerful winds across most of the country from California to New York

Damaging winds, hail, isolated tornados, and floods are threating to impact more than 50 million people from California to New York over the weekend and early into next week.

The back-to-back bomb cyclones are forecasted to create atmospheric rivers. Atmospheric rivers are long narrow regions of moisture in the atmosphere 'like rivers in the sky' that release rain or snow to the earth, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

A storm is considered a bomb cyclone when its minimum air pressure drops 24 millibars or more within 24 hours; this next storm could decrease by 50 millibars potentially becoming a 'double bomb.'

Current storms in California aren’t anything new or special.

What IS new and different is that one month ago they were saying it was going to be bone dry until December and that it was all due to Climate Change (of course).

But all that changed in the last 3 weeks and now it’s wet and snowy everywhere in the West: so not THAT’S due to Climate Change (say it with an echo chamber!).

So it doesn’t matter what happens...hot or cold, wet or dry...it’s 100% always Climate Change.

AKA Bulls**t.

Time to roll out the climate scare material. If you think these CoVidiots are frightened now, just wait until the Bomb Cyclones hit.

Good grief. It rains and snows and gets hot and gets dry and rains...

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo! Wind power.

Yeah, you get half way through the story and it becomes all about climate change, and Biden’s trip to Glasgow next week for the UN Climate Change Conference.

"Atmospheric River" is the latest of the panic-mongering meteorological terms to pop up in recent years. Right up there with "Polar Vortex", "Bomb Cyclone" and other apocalyptic terms that have recently been invented.

For the more sane people, this is still called "weather."

Morton just told me, ‘When it rains, it pours! And he said his daughter agrees!”

Wow. Farmers Almanac predicted snow in Mid Atlantic region between Nov 1-8th

[beethovenfan]

It’s climate change, I tell ya! We’re all gonna die!

[Salamander]

We call them frog drowners.

“Atmospheric River” sounds like an Enya album.

[Hatteras]

This will be HISTORICAL! We have never experienced anything like this before! People will DIE! Schools are canceling classes now to protect children from certain red sniffling noses! Tune in tonight on Eyewitness News, your one dependable news channel, for CAN’T-MISS BREAKING REPORTS!

Just like the weather patterns during the Dalton Minimum and what else is new?

We just happen to be in a solar minimum that may persist and get deeper still.

Yesterday I discovered that "bomb" is short for "bombogenesis."

It means...

"extremely rapid deepening or lowering of atmospheric pressure in the center of the storm. A drop of at least 24 mb in 24 hours. That ramps up big winds."
