Aggressive day 3 outlook issued by the SPC - An upper trough pumps a mild, unstable southerly flow bringing with it the chance of severe thunderstorms across the Pacific Northwest.

A look at the power outage threat with a potent, compact low approaching the South Coast Monday evening - localized, but high impacts possible!

Storm fatigue at its peak: A 975 hPa low south of Tofino is forecast for Boxing Day, far inside 130°W. Another round of damaging winds and widespread power outages are expected. #BCStorm

So, next weekend, the western shores of Hudson Bay will experience temperatures up to 28 degrees above normal, and rainfall will likely be reported across the bay.

There is a very high risk of outages for northern sections of the Strait of Georgia, where 100-110 km/h wind gusts are possible over the immediate coastline. Please stay safe! #BCStorm

Remarkable satellite presentation on a rapidly developing low, with a final destination south of Haida Gwaii pre-dawn Tuesday at 960 hPa. #BCStorm

Carefully watching a powerful low approach the NW tip of Vancouver Island pre-dawn Christmas Eve. A low inside 130°W with this pressure normally spells pretty big trouble with power outages and damage for Vancouver Island. #BCStorm

Classic windstorm for the Lower Mainland on Saturday, with gusts over 90 km/h across the SW, but 80+ km/h wind gusts are fair game well inland. #BCStorm

The streak of windstorms continues… (1/3🧵) #BCStorm The forecast is straightforward: if you live along the water, expect wind gusts of up to 100 km/h. The North Island will see much less impact compared to the recent bomb cyclone.

Heavy fog through the #Chehalis Valley with limited visibility… use caution, slow down, and make sure your headlights are on if travelling in that area or whenever travelling in fog! #ShareYourWeather #WAwx

Buoy Y43, a few hundred meters off the Ucluelet coast. Doing it's job during the Bomb Cyclone yesterday. I want to dedicate these photos to the First Responders, BC Hydro & other folks who work through these event to try to keep us safe #Ukee #Ucluelet #BombCyclone #BCStorm #VancouverIsland #PNW

Nailed it!

The atmosphere is pulling off its best impersonation of a Tim Hortons Smile Cookie this week.

What it's like to watch a plane land during a bomb cyclone. 💨✈️ #wawx

WPC analysis shows the #BombCyclone bottomed out at 942 mb at 03z (19 PT). This ties the record set in October 2021. #weather #BCstorm #WAwx #ORwx

Entering hour nine with no power because of the #BCstorm. Checked the fridge and the beer is still cold. Guinness is an acceptable breakfast in a disaster, right?

Well this is wholesome, a couple just had a little snowball fight in the middle of downtown Leavenworth. Steady snow coming down in the Cascades now! ❄️❄️ #wawx #bombcyclone

Over 700,000 customers without power in Washington this morning. Most notably in the two most populated counties in the state where almost half the counties are without electricity. #wawx #bombcyclone

#bcstorm it sounds like a freight train out there and my house shakes with every gust slamming it, but still have power🤞. Winds are picking up though and I hope it’s not gonna be our time in the bucket for an outage like most of Vancouver Island. #Bombcyclone

Don’t know how anyone is sleeping through this #BCStorm. The house is shaking! #YYJ Not enough white noise to block this one out. 😞

The #bombcyclone off the west coast now ties the lowest pressure ever recorded at 942 MB off the Washington coast. This was a 69 MB drop in 24 hours. #wawx h/t @mathieublue.bsky.social

A look at the latest wind velocity scans. For those not familiar, the colours represent wind movement relative to the radar, with reds indicating winds moving away from the radar at Halfmoon Peak and greens/blues showing winds moving toward it. #BCstorm

90 km/h winds might not sound impressive to the rest of Canada, but for the South Coast of B.C., this is why they’re a big deal.🌲💨#BCStorm

Some wind gust projections for east Vancouver Island; this ain't your run-of-the-mill 50-70 km/h windstorm. #BCStorm

Some fresh satellite shots are painting quite the picture, looking at another 10 hPa of deepening the next few hours

Buoy 46005 is going through it right now.

Pressure falls at buoy 46005 are just incredible #wawx #bombcyclone

Bomb cyclone stuns in new photos.

Textbook strong mid-latitude cyclone. The tight comma look and strong frontal boundaries highlight the rapid intensification. It's driven by the warm and cold airmass interaction, creating rapid upward motion. Note the stratocumulus clouds wrapping behind (popcorn-like) highlighting the cold air.

The model guidance suggests a significant windstorm is likely for all of Vancouver Island, potentially affecting 200,000+ customers. Unlike typical wind events that last 6 to 8 hours, this storm is expected to persist for twice that duration and not be isolated. #BCStorm

Wild! Hurricane Force Wind Warning for waters off central Oregon Coast. It’s the highest marine warning available. Gusts to 80 mph and 33 ft seas 🤢

Textbook rapidly developing low. Compact swirling center, comma shaped look, dry air intrusion on the backside, and a budding baroclinic leaf (cloud band) to the north. #BCStorm

Here comes our storm! It is starting to come out of the developing "baroclinic leaf" stage and now is getting that look of rapidly maturing bomb cyclone. Very cool stuff! #wawx #bcwx #orwx

Bomb cyclone has been rapidly intensifying the past 8 hours at a remarkable pace—falling to 940 hPA by tonight. #BCstorm

Hell of a grocery store impulse buy imminent for someone…self checkout or cashier this fella?

For those interested, these are the ingredients that will intensify our bomb cyclone: www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat... #BCStorm

Monstrous waves will be generated by the bomb cyclone. Like as big as.. •A 6-story building •4 adult giraffes stacked tall •10 African elephants •3 Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaurs #BCstorm www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

GFS wants to break the all-time low-pressure readings for this part of the Pacific Ocean. Low likely comes close to 940 hPA. Remember the low is like 600 kilometres away from the coast Tuesday evening (thankfully). #BCStorm

FWIW, the RGEM guidance looks pretty darn good for reasonable max gusts through Wednesday: Comox (YQQ) 101 km/h Campbell River (YBL): 85 km/h Tofino (YAZ): 89 km/h Nanaimo (YCD): 65 km/h Victoria (Gonzales): 90 km/h Victoria (YYJ): 78 km/h Denman-Lantzville: 90 km/h #BCStorm

A theoretical maximum wave height of 20 metres offshore Vancouver Island and Washington state. Waves up 8-10 along the outer coast can be expected #BCStorm

This idea is half-baked (so not putting on x) but this low will generate some brisk outflow conditions, keeping the theme of low-freezing levels this weekend + heavy precipitation can temporarily drop the snow level to atypical places up Vancouver Island and up the sea-to-sky. #BCSnow

Here's a look at the current model average for a 24-hour pressure drop forecast, highlighting some of the highest values the atmosphere can produce in this region—59 hPa over 24 hours represents a double weather bomb. #BCWind

I think we can finally call this light #snow now falling @SFU - Today’s forecast verifying nicely. Anyone up there or Westwood Plateau with some pics or video? Unfortunately I can’t get up there right now. 1:17p PT #BCwx #BCstormwatch #BCstorm #BCsnow #YVRwx #YVR

Here's a look at a half-decent 2021 proxy, it was a long-duration wind event across Vancouver Island, but the media ran with it and it became majorly overhyped. This low will be weaker, but marginally closer to the coast, but the worst impacts will surely be felt on Vancouver Island. #BCStorm

The higher resolutions attempt to resolve the near-impossible task of forecasting marginal snowfall. This looks a little over-zealous but just highlights that fluffy raindrops could mix in across higher terrain :)

Oh, here's the kindling for our Pacific Northwest low on Tuesday. A 300 km/h (180 mph) jet streak will rapidly develop the storm as it sweeps towards northern Vancouver Island. #BCStorm

Tofino wave-watching is going to be a spectacle late Tuesday into Wednesday. Next low will specialize in generating big ass waves. #BCStorm

To new beginnings. X was like your favourite restaurant—great vibes until the new manager filled it with crying babies and obnoxiously shouting patrons.
