BREAKING: Powerful Arctic storm set to explode in North Atlantic

For the past few days, the meteorologists at the Ocean Prediction Center (OPC) have been highlighting the likelihood of an “exploding” storm event that is happening now, south of Iceland. The storm has intensified enough to become stronger than Hurricane Sandy was, as measured by the minimum central air pressure. The lowest pressure recorded during Sandy’s development was 940 mb and the current storm intensified to 933 mb, based on information from the OPC on January 26, 2013.
