"Bomb cyclone" first used in some research paper in 1980 to describe low pressure systems that undergo specific rapid strengthening within 24 hours. It's a ridiculous term, media now […]
Storm system with a good amount of moisture will bring 1.50-2.50" of total rainfall between this afternoon (Saturday) and Monday.
