Wait for it...
A top-end storm is explosively deepening in the open Atlantic right now. Central pressure should drop below 930 hPa.
The jet stream dynamics are jaw-dropping.

The storm development is linked back to a baroclinic zone over the Southern States. Cold air flooded the USA with strong thermal contrast (very warm to the south).
A beautiful but powerful storm.

The jet stream interacting with the developing surface cyclone is crucial for such a powerful storm.
The coincidence of the surface cyclone under the 'right entrance' then 'left exit' greatly enhances the cyclone development

'Explosive cyclogensis' is an actual term used in meteorology. Others may call this a 'weather bomb'.
For a cyclone to be defined as a 'weather bomb', the central pressure must drop by at least 24 hPa in 24 hours.
This storm drops a whopping ~48 hPa in 24 hours.

The storm is massive (spatially). Mid-latitude cyclones like this are far larger in size compared to hurricanes for example. This storm is dragging a lot of cold air east to the south of Greenland.
