A massive and dangerous weather pattern is taking shape across the United States as an Arctic blast prepares to collide with a developing coastal system. This combination is set to trigger “bombogenesis”—a rapid drop in atmospheric pressure that creates a “bomb” cyclone—bringing the most significant winter weather event of the season. The primary concern for the weekend is a developing storm system along the East Coast. Further east, the heavy, wet snow expected in coastal areas—combined with strengthening winds—poses a significant risk to the power grid.
