"US weather forecast: Fierce cyclones threaten to smash
America in next 72 hours
Fierce cyclones whipped up by the jet stream threaten
to thwack the United States with a 100kmh storm deluge.
North-eastern and western states are braced for
torrential downpours as hot and cold air collide to
form a ‘storm factory’.
Winds of 100kmh will hammer exposed coastal regions
while inland gusts could hit 75kmph.
Stormy conditions will be driven by a hot and cold
temperature contrast across the States helping the jet
stream fire up low-pressure systems.
Foul weather will set in during the middle of the week
with the full force of the assault due at the weekend.
Jim Dale, US weather correspondent and meteorologist
for British Weather Services, said: “It looks to be
turning very wet and windy to the northeast,
particularly around New England which does not look
like the best place to be in the run up to and around
the weekend.
“Low pressure, which appears to dip down from north
Canada, is hanging around in situ over the east of the
country.
“This will bring the risk of floods to parts of the
region, and the chance of some strong winds at times.”
Unsettled weather to the east of the country will be
driven by a clash between hot and cold air masses.

It's another name for hurricane...being in FL I can verify
the USA has cyclones/hurricanes. Wow.
EXCERPT from online query:
What is cyclone also called?
Tropical cyclone | Definition, Causes, Formation, and
Effects ...
It is also called a hurricane or a typhoon. It is
characterized by low atmospheric pressure and heavy rain,
and its winds exceed 119 km (74 miles) per hour.

a weather reporter in the US call it a cyclone - a
hurricane yes - a tropical storm, yes. But can't recall
any tv weather channel, or newspaper call it a cyclone
here in the US.

"Searing heat from Mexico will bake western states
through the start of the week while a cold plunge from
the north will chill the east.
The two bodies of air will mix to form a volatile storm
‘factory’ spawning low-pressure cyclones, he warned.
To the west of the United States, the jet stream will
fire up over the country driving a separate deluge, he
added.
He said: “The contrast in temperatures brought by
separate air masses will form a factory for these very
unsettled outbreaks.
“Also, into next weekend, very unsettled weather
systems will start to come into the west of the United
States.
“These will be driven by the jet stream, which will
also have an influence across the country to drive the
wind and rain this week.”
The warnings come as Florida battles a persistent
deluge thanks to unusually high tropical storm activity
in the Atlantic.
Forecasters are watching two storms moving across still
warm ocean waters – the remains of Tropical Storm Sean
and a separate disturbance off the coast of Africa.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the United States, a
spate of ‘atmospheric rivers’ have dumped a deluge
across California.
The phenomenon forms from Pacific low pressure dragging
trailing fronts loaded with moisture into the west
coast.
California has endured one of the wettest years on
record with an El-Nino warming of the eastern Pacific
threatening more rain.
A spokesperson for The Weather Channel said:
“California just finished one of its wettest water
years in recorded state history.
“That's thanks in part to a series of big atmospheric
river events that dumped huge amounts of rain and snow
on the Golden State.
“Another blockbuster water year could be coming
courtesy of the El Nino climate pattern that we're in
which typically favours a wetter than average winter in
parts of the state.”
