Question about definition of Word "Bomb"

I see the word "bomb" used a lot by the weather posters. Does this mean that the weather intensified. When some one uses the word to say the forecast bombed does that mean it was accurate or that it did not verify.Please explain exactly what people are talking about. Are they using the term correctly or are they making up slang as they go. This would help when reading the posts. Thanks
