Back-to-back storms this week could lead to flooding and power outages in and around Northern California, forecasters warned.

Officials in Jamaica have raised concerns that not enough residents are complying with mandatory evacuation orders. Hurricane Melissa is barreling toward the island nation, threatening to become the strongest storm ever to make landfall there and wreak potentially catastrophic damage.

Britain’s Famous Forecasting Failure. 38 years ago today Britain was blindsided by one of its worst storms. 18 lives lost, 15 million trees destroyed & a billion pounds worth of damage. Almost no one, not even Britain’s trusted weather forecasters, had seen it coming. nyti.ms/4769vVV @nytimes.com

Emergency crews rescued dozens of people in western Alaska on Sunday as flooding from the remnants of Typhoon Halong battered remote coastal communities and tore houses off their foundations, officials said.

An area of Arizona that includes Phoenix falls within the bull’s-eye of a region at particularly risk for heavy rain and flash flooding. A smattering of showers fell on Thursday, and heavier rainfall is on the way on Friday and Saturday. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/w...

The National Weather Service announced that a deadly North Dakota tornado this summer has been assessed as a 5 on the enhanced Fujita scale, with wind speeds greater than 210 miles per hour. It’s the first time since 2013 that a tornado has been given the highest possible rating.

You don't see this every day... #Imelda #Humberto

Mapping some recent double events www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Hurricane Humberto rapidly intensified from a Category 1 to a Category 3 storm over just a few hours on Friday.

Uncertainty remains around Humberto and what could become Imelda, but forecasters now say there's an increasing chance one of these storms could impact the U.S. Stay tuned for updates!

It’s September 13, not a single tropical cyclone is active globally, and only one invest globally has over a 30% probability of formation into a tropical cyclone. We’ll take the quiet while it lasts…

Hurricane Erin’s remarkable strengthening continued on Saturday, and it could become a Category 5, forecasters said. Max sustained winds now at 155 m.p.h., and have increased by 80 m.p.h. over the last 24 hours — more then twice the definition of "rapid intensification." nyti.ms/3VahnQx

Tropical storm to Category 4 hurricane in a day. 🤯 Rapid intensification is conventionally defined to be an increase of at least 35 mph in 24 hr. This is at 75 mph in 24 hr. (soon to be Category 5 #Erin?)

That happened fast, #Erin. Tropical storm to Category 4 in 24 hours!

#Erin is now a hurricane, and this time I don't mean my editor, who is storming through an edit on my text right now. nyti.ms/4lntfJH
