"Weather models indicate that the powerful system will develop off the coast of the Carolinas early Saturday before rapidly intensifying at an explosive rate, fast enough to meet the criteria of a bomb cyclone. The impending Arctic blast is expected to be so extreme that temperatures are predicted to fall to near freezing throughout Florida on Sunday. Even Miami is expected to reach the 30s that morning."
"Meteorologist Ryan Hall, known as 'The Internet's Weather Man,' warned that the bomb cyclone, a powerful winter storm that strengthens quickly as air pressure drops sharply, will develop in the Atlantic this week, spiraling just like a tropical cyclone. 'That's pretty much a hurricane,' Hall said on Tuesday. 'Whoever ends up on the western side of that in the cold area is going to get absolutely clobbered with snow.'"
"While Hall cautioned that it was too early to say if the storm would make landfall this weekend and deliver up to a foot of snow in some areas, the forecaster was certain that this week's dangerously cold temperatures are about to get worse. 'Another arctic blast is going to come around the backside of this low-pressure system, probably the most powerful one of the year so far, and it's going to plummet temperatures down 30 degrees below average,' the meteorologist warned."
Weather models show a powerful low-pressure system developing off the Carolinas early Saturday and intensifying explosively into a bomb cyclone. The storm will spin like a tropical cyclone and could produce heavy snow on its western side, with up to a foot possible in some areas. An Arctic blast trailing the low will drive frigid air south, causing near-freezing temperatures across Florida and readings near zero across parts of the South, Midwest, Northern Plains, and Northeast. Hypothermia and frostbite risks will increase for anyone exposed outdoors during the cold plunge.
