An even stronger storm is expected to develop over the eastern Pacific and
reach the West Coast by Tuesday night. This low pressure system will
likely undergo bombogenesis (pressure drop of at least 24mb in 24 hours)
from Monday night to Tuesday night, at which point it could become a 980
mb low with hurricane force winds offshore! It should reach land near the
California/Oregon border early Tuesday night and then begin to gradually
weaken as it moves inland. The mountains of southern Oregon and northern
California are likely to get hammered with blizzard conditions, and
battering surf and high winds for coastal areas. Winter storm watches and
warnings are already in effect for many of these areas, and the cold
nature of the event will result in lower than usual snow levels.
Pre-Thanksgiving travel in this region could be severely affected, and
local forecast offices have additional information pertaining to this.
