A powerful extratropical cyclone developed in November 2024 in the Northeast Pacific and struck the Western United States and Western Canada.[3] The storm was associated with an atmospheric river that dropped large amounts of rain in Oregon and California. The storm underwent bombogenesis, rapidly dropping its central pressure[4] to a record-tying level of 942 mb.[citation needed]
