It was as visually stunning as it was a meteorological marvel.
Satellite view of the bomb cyclone on March 13. By Matthew Cappucci March 15 at 11:53 AM It’s been a week-long affair of wild weather as a massive bomb cyclone raced across the Lower 48. Here we take a look at 10 incredible images from the storm.
#GOESEast got a closer look at the #bombogenesis developing over the Central U.S. during this morning's sunrise. A bombogenesis occurs when a mid-latitude cyclone rapidly intensifies over a 24-hour period.

That’s why the lightning flashes are much rarer. But amid the heavy snowfall, a number of sporadic lightning bolts punctuated the winter storm.
After sunset Thursday, a pair of classic supercell thunderstorms developed over east-central Alabama. Multiple reports of tornadoes and damage prompted the National Weather Service in Birmingham to identify “at least 9 areas of interest” spanning 10 counties. Meteorologists were able to confirm a “damaging tornado” that was “radar indicated.” That inference was due in part to the doughnut hole on radar — also known as a bounded weak echo region, or BWER. That’s where the storm’s updraft is strong enough that rain can’t physically fall, and is indicative of rapid vertical motion often corresponding to a tornado.
Given how quickly storms were moving Thursday, all of this may have occurred in barely 10 to 15 minutes — from calm, partly cloudy skies through the hail and to a tornado.
