"Bombogenesis" was coined as a combination of cyclogenesis, or the formation of a cyclone or storm, and bomb as its effects can lash out in affected areas like an explosion.

The storm was powered by a rapid plunge in barometric pressure that some weather forecasters were referring to as bombogenesis or a "bomb cyclone" and which brought fast, heavy snowfall and high winds.

The bombogenesis phenomenon occurs when a storm's barometric pressure drops 24 millibars in 24 hours.

The National Weather Service also (http://www.ibtimes.com/bomb-cyclone-winter-storm-grayson-expected-undergo-bombogenesis-2636710) predicted Wednesday that the storm could undergo something called "(http://www.ibtimes.com/bomb-cyclone-winter-storm-grayson-expected-undergo-bombogenesis-2636710) bombogenesis ." That means the storm could quickly escalate over a period of 24 hours.

Winter Storm Stella May Undergo Bombogenesis Before Hitting The Northeast

Once the warm, tropical air crashes into mountain of cold air, a violent explosion of meteorological energy will occur called bombogenesis. (http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/188/) According to WeatherPrediction.com , "bombogenesis typically occurs between a cold continental air mass and warm ocean waters or between a cold polar air mass and a much warmer air mass."

Nuri's central pressure, during that bombogenesis, will intensify and deepen from 970 MB late Thursday to between 918 to 922 MB late Friday.
