The wind is rising...

This is a screen capture from a site I like to visit, earth.nullschool.net. This is an animated map of current global wind, weather, and ocean conditions.   Looking at the image, two storms pop out.

The one in the Pacific (on the left) is the Bering Strait Superstorm currently lashing the Aleutians and heading towards Alaska with max current speeds of 65 km/hr.  This superstorm is notable because it represents one of the lowest sea-level barometric pressures ever observed on Earth outside of tropical cyclones and tornadoes.  At 920 millibars, it is on par with Katrina.  

At the same time, a major storm is brewing in the Northern Atlantic.  This has current
maximum sustained speeds of 75 km/hr.  It has time before it hits land, so I expect it will increase in speed and intensity.  Current low pressure readings are at 980 976 millibars . (edit: It has dropped since I published this, and will likely continue to drop as it gathers strength)  This puts it squarely in the range of a Category 1 hurricane, on par with Barbara (2013).

Here's why this is notable....
