DescriptionPacific Northwest Bomb Cyclone, 2019 (50700000938).png |
English: The Pacific Northwest is occasionally battered by large, extratropical cyclones that sweep inland from the northern Pacific Ocean. Colloquially known as “Big Blows,” they can be as powerful and damaging as some tropical storms or hurricanes. NOAA satellites are a critical source for tracking these storms as they cross and intensify over the ocean. This low-level water vapor image from NOAA’s GOES-17 satellite shows the tightly wound structure of a “bomb cyclone” that made landfall along the Oregon/California coast just after sunset on November 26, 2019. The storm produced wind gusts of 106 mph in southwestern Oregon and 70 mph in northwestern California. |
