'Bomb cyclone' to impact holiday travel with blizzards, cold temps across the nation
Fox News
A Christmas blizzard is expected to turn into a bomb cyclone this week, snarling highway and airport traffic across much of the U.S. with freezing temps, high winds and snow.
The central pressure of the system must drop at least 24 millibars in 24 hours to qualify under bombogenesis, but what happens is the pressure drop intensifies the power of the storm. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
It is a merging of two words: bomb and cyclogenesis. Bomb refers to the explosive development, and all storms are considered cyclones, while genesis describes the beginning or creation.
