West Coast braces for simultaneous ‘bomb cyclone’ and ‘atmospheric river’
(Worthy News) – A “bomb cyclone” with hurricane-like strength and a chart-topping “atmospheric river” will coincide Saturday night into Sunday to unleash flooding rains, wet snow, strong winds and coastal surf across the western US.
