All-time pressure records set at the end of 2020: North Pacific extratropical storm peaks at 921 mbar, extreme cold in Mongolia sets new world record with 1094 mbar ! By Marko Korosec | Global weather | 03 January 2021 We have seen the year 2020 was, weatherwise, a remarkable and deadly year by various extreme weather events. Including the record-breaking Atlantic hurricane season, wildfires in Siberia, and winter storms in both Europe and the United States. And the year ended with a bang, setting a new North Pacific low-pressure record of 921 mbar as a powerful extratropical storm hit Alaska on the last day of 2020. While just a day earlier, a new world record for high-pressure has been set in Mongolia, 1094 mbar! As we have been writing about in our initial Wednesday’s discussion regarding the potential record-breaking evolution of this storm, the North Pacific, Alaska, and the Bering Sea have set a new record for the lowest central pressure of an extratropical storm. The lowest central pressure with this storm was 921 mbar over the North Pacific on the last day of 2020, Dec 31st. While the center of the low crossed the Aleutian Islands, the nearest weather station Shemya island of the Alaska weather station network recorded 924.8 mbar, breaking the previous record of 926 mbar set at Dutch Harbor on October 25th, 1977. When the system moved into the Bering Sea, it also set a new minimum central pressure of 921 mbar, becoming the deepest storm in the Bering Sea on record. The last storm with so deep pressure were remnants of Super Typhoon Nuri. The North Pacific hardly sees any rest this winter and this storm was no exception for the region. A combination of the deep Arctic cold over Siberia, the advection of a warm Pacific tropical air mass, and the extremely powerful 250 mph jet stream between these two air masses have resulted in a very *explosive* development of an extratropical storm and bottom out at 921 mbar, right in the time the storm was about to cross the Aleutian Islands. Evolution of the record-breaking extratropical storm .... .... ---continued at link---  |

I watched this cyclone develop several days ago on satellite images. Have to say I've never seen anything quite like it except for the tropics. Here's the spectacular satellite image I found on another, previous post from your link (great link btw) that shows how powerful this "bomb cyclone" was. It created 55+ ft. waves and hurricane force winds. Lots of good info on how these extratropical cyclones develop and why at link. |

to me, this should take some sort of prize for being the most exceptional satellite of at least 2020 if not longer. 3 massive storm lined up like soldiers ready for battle in the N. Pacific/Alaska. Here's the header in the article at the link. Thanks to Wubbu for finding this site. 2020 will end with a spectacular “Day After Tomorrow” extratropical event, as one of the most intense North Pacific storm on record heads straight for the Aleutian Islands By Marko Korosec | Global weather | 31 December 2020 The North Pacific sees no rest this winter. And now, the weather has decided to challenge the all-time pressure record for the region. The combination of the deep Arctic cold over Siberia, the advection of a warm Pacific tropical air mass, and the extremely powerful 250 mph jet stream separating these two air masses is resulting in an *explosive* extratropical storm with its central pressure forecast to bottom out near 920 mbar and blast into the Aleutian Islands. |
