Atmospheric river, early-season bomb cyclone …

LOL
They are now combining hyped fear phrases in headlines
Yep, “clickbait” headlines everywhere! What happened to regular old “weather front” or “low pressure area/front”?
The litany of terms are ripped straight from Al Gore’s existential threat advertisement.
“Atmospheric River”/”Bomb Cyclone”: “Heavy rain” with a press agent ...
I agree Bomb cyclone is a bit much, but when those rains come to the west coast atmospheric river is a good term. Those early rains either from the Gulf of Alaska or the Pineapple Express from Hawaii they don’t stop for a while.
Satellite map shows rain clouds forming but no “cyclone” activity; no “atmospheric river” forming, just the usual media flunkies mailing in their “climate” stories.
