Text paragraph:
As the system arrives, many areas will also be confronted with the effects
of a bomb cyclone: The powerful system was seen "undergoing bombogenesis"
off California's northern coast, the NWS office in Sacramento said on
Wednesday, referring to the rapid intensification of a midlatitude cyclone.
