Normally I do not make dramatic, hypothetical posts, but truly, this is astonishing. It’s a small low that races west over the pacific early next week, and seems to fuel off another low over the gulf of Alaska. It grows rapidly as it near BC, becoming ridiculously strong. According to ICON atmospheric pressures would plummet a staggering 59mb from just Monday morning to Tuesday morning, not only reaching bomb cyclone criteria, but blowing far past it. As it near Vancouver island it will slow down and move very slowly northeast to the central coast. Although uncertainty remains, if this storm comes too close to western Vancouver island Tuesday night, I fear some communities of the BC south coast may face hurricane force winds. Stats at peak strength off the coast of western Vancouver island Tuesday night, by ICON. • Pressure: 948 mb • Peak wind gusts: 195km/h #BCStormWatch #BCWind #BCRain #Storm #BombCyclone
