Gusty winds is also associated with this with the coastlines seeing up to Hurricane Force wind gusts as his system made its close approach near the Northwest. So, what is a Bomb Cyclone, a bomb cyclone goes through a rapid deepening process called Bombogenius dropping 24mb in pressure in 24 hours which is when its officially categorized as a Bomb Cyclone. It's when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass which the cold air mass in question is the upper-level low from the west. These explosive cyclogeneses are very latitudinal dependent for the change in pressure. </p> </div> <div class="article__section article__section_type_ad"> <div data-module="ad" class="ad ad_position_article_mid1 ad_background_true" data-status="new" data-path="/32805352/tx-odessa-KWES-B3384_DesktopTablet/article_mid1/weather" data-sizes="[[300,250],[1,1],[750,570],[1,2]]" data-delay="8" data-lazy="false" data-position="article_mid1" data-refresh-interval="33" data-refresh-enabled="true" data-targeting-strnativekey="" data-collapse="false" data-outstream-enabled="false" data-outstream-sizes="[]" data-page-type="article"> <div class="ad__inner ad__inner_border_true ad__inner_background_true" style="min-height: 0px; min-width: 0px;"> <noscript> <iframe class="ad__nojs-iframe" src="https://securepubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/adx?iu=/32805352/tx-odessa-KWES-B3384_DesktopTablet/article_mid1/weather&sz=300x250|1x1|750x570|1x2&c=507" width="750" height="570"></iframe> </noscript> </div> </div> </div> <div class="article__section article__section_type_photo"> <div data-module="photo" class="photo"> <div class="photo__image"> <div class="photo__ratio-enforcer"> <div class="photo__ratio-enforced"> <img class="photo__placeholder" loading="eager" src="https://media.newswest9.com/assets/KWES/images/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92/20241122T032011/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92_16x9.jpg" /> <img class="photo__main" loading="eager" src="https://media.newswest9.com/assets/KWES/images/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92/20241122T032011/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92_1140x641.jpg" srcset="https://media.newswest9.com/assets/KWES/images/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92/20241122T032011/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92_16x9.jpg 16w, https://media.newswest9.com/assets/KWES/images/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92/20241122T032011/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92_140x79.jpg 140w, https://media.newswest9.com/assets/KWES/images/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92/20241122T032011/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92_360x203.jpg 360w, https://media.newswest9.com/assets/KWES/images/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92/20241122T032011/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92_540x304.jpg 540w, https://media.newswest9.com/assets/KWES/images/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92/20241122T032011/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92_750x422.jpg 750w, https://media.newswest9.com/assets/KWES/images/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92/20241122T032011/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92_1140x641.jpg 1140w, https://media.newswest9.com/assets/KWES/images/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92/20241122T032011/aa7ecc55-df67-4ed8-a852-9c51677e9a92_1920x1080.jpg 1920w" alt="" style="opacity:0" onload="this.style.opacity=1" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="photo__meta"> <div class="photo__credit">Credit: Meteorologist Andy Meade</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="article__section article__section_type_text utility__text"> <p>These systems are fueled by energy and one factor that has a lot of energy associated with these systems and very well known in the Pacific Northwest is Atmospheric Rivers.

The Trough in the east is the same feature that brought us our cold front and heavy precipitation across the region which is in fact bring rain and snow for much of the eastern portions of the states especially in areas where it is very welcomed. High pressure ridge is keeping its dominance due to this and able to build into a pretty zonal state especially once the trough out in the east moves on out leaving our awaited cold fronts a bit of a struggle on the way without much give to push through but will just enough to notice a small difference. Once the low-pressure systems out in the west do their dance and get in control, it will make its eventual path west to east bringing in a cold front early week with another one expected on the way just in time for Thanksgiving keeping our temperatures just around average. </p> </div> <div class="article__section article__section_type_ad"> <div data-module="ad" class="ad ad_position_article_mid2 ad_background_true" data-status="new" data-path="/32805352/tx-odessa-KWES-B3384_DesktopTablet/article_mid2/weather" data-sizes="[[300,250],[1,1]]" data-delay="8" data-lazy="false" data-position="article_mid2" data-refresh-interval="33" data-refresh-enabled="true" data-targeting-strnativekey="[
