User blog:Bobnekaro/Polar Cyclone Bell becomes the strongest reliably measured Polar Cyclone, by pressure

Bob Nekaro, BNWC CEO & Chief Meteorologist

At 2PM today, Polar Cyclone Bell had winds of 180 mph and a minimum pressure of 899 millibars - which makes it the strongest reliably measured polar cyclone in history, by pressure. Bell is slated to move northwestward before it makes landfall in the North Pole tomorrow. Bell is also expected to become the strongest North Pole landfall in several years, and the second-earliest North Pole landfall in history.

We are also beginning to track a new polar wave that could form over Scandinavia by this weekend. However, development should be very slow to occur. It's too early to be designated an Invest, though. We expect the system to not form for another two weeks if it forms at all.
