The bulk of the warmup and dry weather will be centered on the weekend for most areas. Outdoor plans

31/10 Temperature rollercoaster to begin big upswing following winterlike chill in central, eastern US

After temperatures bottom out to levels more typical of December, warmer air will rally once again to deliver temperatures more typical of mid- to late October for much of the eastern half of the nation late this week and this weekend, AccuWeather meteorologists say.

14/10 Sweeping southern US chill may trigger Florida records, Appalachian snowflakes

The same massive rainstorm pivoting from the Midwest to the Northeast into this weekend will allow a push of much cooler air to sweep from west to east across the southern United States, AccuWeather meteorologists say. People who mind cool weather will be trading shorts and t-shirts one day for long sleeves and jackets the next. People in the Southeast, especially those in Florida, may be in for q

11/10 Gulf storm bringing much-need rain, Florida tornado threat

A drenching rainstorm AccuWeather meteorologists have had their eyes on since the start of October has come to fruition, albeit without developing into a named tropical system. The storm will bring drought-easing rain to several locations, but it will come at the cost of localized urban flooding in parts of the Southeast and the potential for a few tornados in Florida, forecasters warn. Stiff wind

10/10 Texas to Florida faces soaking as tropical system brews in Gulf of Mexico

A double-whammy of tropical moisture is expected to bring drenching rainfall to the Gulf Coast this week, following a rather quiet spell in that part of the Atlantic basin. Unlike in previous years, the Gulf of Mexico has not been the hot spot of tropical activity for much of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. Of the season's 17 named tropical storms, only three have passed through the waters of

06/10 Gulf of Mexico may take a turn with tropical activity

The Gulf of Mexico has been quiet since Category 4 Hurricane Idalia in late August, but AccuWeather meteorologists will be watching the warm water body for tropical activity prior to the middle of October.

27/09 Tropical downpours to douse Florida, trigger flash flood risk for many days

The Sunshine State may struggle to live up to its reputation through this weekend as a slow-moving tropical disturbance unloads inches of rain and raises the risk of flooding over much of Florida, AccuWeather meteorologists say. Disruptive breezes, known as wind shear, at the middle levels of the atmosphere will be a deterrent for tropical storm formation in the zone from the northwestern Caribbea

27/09 Tropical Storm Philippe track takes a turn, now set to head toward the northern Caribbean

Changing conditions over the central Atlantic have caused Tropical Storm Philippe's track to shift much farther to the west, and the system could bring some impacts to the islands of the northern Caribbean by this weekend, AccuWeather meteorologists say. Hostile breezes, known as wind shear, have altered the structure of Philippe so that the upper part of the storm has been blown off to the northe

25/09 Another ‘homebrew' tropical storm may emerge, but this time in the Gulf of Mexico

AccuWeather meteorologists say that tropical development could once again take shape in waters near the United States close behind the "homebrew" development of Tropical Storm Ophelia. A zone from the northwestern Caribbean to the south-central and southeastern Gulf of Mexico warrants a close watch for tropical development through late September. Even if a named storm does not form, tropical moist

23/09 Yet another tropical system to strengthen over Atlantic and may track near Caribbean

As the East Coast prepares for a weekend hit from Tropical Storm Ophelia, AccuWeather meteorologists say that yet another disturbance in the tropical Atlantic will become a tropical storm and perhaps the next hurricane of the 2023 hurricane season as it churns over the basin. An area of low pressure and its associated cluster of rain and thunderstorms was located about 600 miles west-southwest of

20/09 Coastal storm to unload inches of rain along Eastern Seaboard

Drenching rainfall will spread across a large area of the East Coast later this week and into the weekend from a system that AccuWeather forecasters say could become the next named tropical storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. Late this week, a low-pressure area will develop off the Atlantic coast of the Southeast. In fact, AccuWeather hurricane experts have been highlighting a moderate ri

18/09 'Homebrew' tropical system could develop along US East Coast

In the wake of Hurricane Lee, AccuWeather meteorologists will be keeping a close eye on near-coast Atlantic waters in the area from northeastern Florida to North Carolina late this week to this weekend as this zone could yield a tropical system, which could unleash rain and gusty winds along a significant part of the Eastern Seaboard. "Stalled fronts along the southeastern coast of the United Stat

13/09 Major Hurricane Lee takes northward turn before targeting Maine, Canadian Maritimes

AccuWeather meteorologists are highly confident that Hurricane Lee will make landfall along the stretch of coast from central Maine to New Brunswick and perhaps brush the southwestern tip of Nova Scotia this weekend.

10/09 Northeast: Soggy start to the week, but pattern change on the way

Although the start of the week can kick off under a rather damp regime for some Northeast and New England locations, forecasters say that a dry and cooler pattern is on the way for some interior regions later this week.
