I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a storm this big before.

The storm shown here stretches west to east from Newfoundland to
Portugal. Its southern tail (cold front) extends into the Caribbean and
the north side of its comma head touches southern Greenland.

Not only is it big, but it’s also super intense – comparable to many
category 3 hurricanes. The storm’s central pressure, as analyzed by the
Ocean Prediction Center, is 953 mb. Estimated peak wave heights are around 25-30 feet.




The storm is forecast to remain more or less stationary over the next
few days before substantially weakening and then eventually drifting
into western Europe in about a week as a rather ordinary weather system.







Note to Washingtonians: this is the same storm that blanketed the region with 1-4 inches of snow Monday.
It’s grown into a monster from humble beginnings. The storm’s giant
circulation has drawn down the cold and windy conditions we’ve had since
it passed.
