This video of the impressive GOES-16 one-minute high resolution infrared satellite imagery shows explosive cyclogenesis/rapid intensification of the hurricane force low pressure system in the W Atlantic from late last night into this morning. As a reminder, an extratropical/post-tropical low pressure system is classified as "hurricane force" when the winds are greater than or equal to 64 knots, a "storm" when the winds are from 48 to 63 knots, and a "gale" when the winds are from 34 to 47 knots.

📌 At the beginning of next week, explosive cyclogenesis is likely to occur near Atlantic Canada, resulting in a deep low-pressure system that will bring very strong winds and heavy precipitation, primarily over Newfoundland. ℹ Explosive cyclogenesis refers to the rapid deepening of a low-pressure system. It usually occurs over the ocean, where strong temperature contrasts and upper-level winds help the low deepen quickly. This process leads to very strong winds and heavy precipitation in the af
