For all you weather watchers at LGF. Looks like next week is going to be very interesting for Alaska.

‘Bomb cyclone’ builds in Aleutian Islands, becoming strongest storm on record to hit Alaska

A powerhouse storm explosively intensifying in the northern Pacific could rank as the strongest nontropical cyclone observed in that ocean basin.

The storm’s pressure has already dropped to 921 millibars on New Year’s Eve, which is even lower than extreme cyclones that formed in the same vicinity in 2014 and 2015. It now qualifies as the strongest storm on record to hit Alaska, according to Rick Thoman, a climate scientist at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks.
