The day starts with a warm front over Maryland on Wednesday morning, bringing scattered showers that last until lunch. After the front moves northeast of the area, clouds clear and a warmer afternoon follows. The wet spell is part of Earth Day celebrations; temperatures climb into the upper 60s and 70s by early afternoon. Thursday is a bright, almost perfect day f...
A mild front will drift through Staten Island on Wednesday, bringing brief showers mostly in the morning and early afternoon. The expected rainfall is modest—just a few inches of water, roughly one‑tenth of an inch. Cloudy skies and brisk winds will keep temperatures in the 50s, lower than usual for this time of year. Thursday sees a shift: temperatures clim...
The Fox River is still swollen after last week’s heavy rains. A Chicago weather scientist says the water may settle back into its banks by mid‑next week, but only if no more big storms hit the area. He based this on a gauge in New Munster, Wisconsin, which topped 15 feet on Sunday and has been falling slowly. The river’s slow move south means it can take three or ...
Weather reports often focus on temperatures and rain chances, but they rarely explain why forecasts change or what those shifts might mean long-term. A new weekly update aims to fill that gap by digging into the science behind forecasts and climate trends. Instead of quick updates on storms or heatwaves, each edition breaks down one topic in depth, like how weather p...
El Niño and La Niña are big names in weather talk, but their real power lies far from the Pacific where they start. In the Atlantic, these patterns shape how many storms form and how strong they get during the 2026 hurricane season that runs from June 1 to November 30. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that 97 % of tropical cyclone a...
The day will start off bright, but clouds may appear as the morning goes on. Temperatures are expected to climb to about 53°F, which will feel a bit warmer at roughly 57°F. At night the low should dip to around 41°F. A gentle wind will blow from the south at about 7 mph, keeping the air breezy. For those heading out in a car, this weather is ideal—clear skie...
Staten Island residents can expect a sharp temperature dip after Monday’s brief showers. The National Weather Service says it will be partly sunny in the morning, with a high around 54°F.

The weather has stayed chilly for most of the month, even after a warm spell last week. Many places are still under 50 degrees today, and clouds are piling up. They might bring a light shower or two, which could affect runners on the Boston Marathon course. Tonight, the sky will clear and winds calm down, setting up a cold start for Tuesday. Wind chills could d...
Central Virginia will face tough fire conditions on Monday, April 20th as parched ground meets strong winds. Dry air and gusty breezes could turn even small sparks into big problems. The state’s forests already show signs of stress with plant moisture levels dropping to just 10-12 percent—about half what experts consider safe. Add winds racing between 20 and 25 mph, ...
Staten Island is about to face a spring mood swing this week. After a taste of warm 80-degree days last week, the upcoming forecast is bringing it back to typical spring unpredictability. Rain showers are expected to roll in starting Sunday, kicking off a stretch of days that feel more like April than the summer-like warmth of the recent past. High temperatures will ...
The weekend starts with bright skies over North Texas after a wet Saturday. Morning temperatures are mild, but the day will warm up to about 74 degrees before cooling to the low fifties at night. Wind stays light, around five miles per hour from the east in the afternoon. No showers are expected today, but a mix of clouds and possible thunderstorms will appe...
Massachusetts will start the week with chillier temperatures, with highs ranging from the 40s to low 50s. The National Weather Service says sunshine will dominate most days, though clouds may creep in at times. On Sunday evening, rain should cease between 7 and 8 p. m. , leaving overnight lows in the low to mid‑30s. By Monday, temperatures will climb into the low 50...
Heavy rains and high tides are putting six Massachusetts counties on alert through early Sunday. Areas near the shore could see water levels rise half a foot higher than usual, enough to flood roads and low-lying homes. Authorities warn against driving through flooded streets, where as little as a foot of moving water can sweep away a car. The concern isn’t just near...
North Texas will swap its warm embrace for a brisker hug this weekend as a cold front rolls through. This isn't just a gentle breeze change; it's a full shift, dragging cooler air behind it like a blanket. Saturday starts with a bang—scattered storms and gusty winds, some strong enough to snap tree branches and knock out power in patches. The winds aren't playing aro...
New Jersey faces a quick weather flip this weekend starting with rain and ending with frost. A cold front rolls in late Saturday bringing wet conditions that stick around until Sunday morning. Temperatures take a steep dive after the rain ends, setting the stage for a much colder week ahead. Rain arrives early with 70 to 80 percent chances Saturday night, leaving be...
The weather office warns that today’s air is very dry and the wind blows hard from the northwest. Because of this, the grass and brush that stay around are almost completely dry. Gusts can reach 40 miles per hour, which pushes any flame forward fast and makes it hard to control. A sudden spark can turn into a wildfire quickly, especially if people light fire...
Rhode Island’s weather can surprise people in spring, especially when it comes to snow. The last winter was busy with two heavy storms that hit the state in January and February, forcing residents to use shovels. A late‑season snow event is very unlikely now, but the state has seen snowfall in Providence as far out as May. The National Weather Service keeps ...

By midday a bright sky takes over, letting the sun warm up the streets and parks. The sunshine feels almost like a promise t...
Residents in the Chicago area are urged to reduce their water consumption as severe weather approaches. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District has issued an Overflow Action Day Alert, warning that strong to severe storms could bring hail, heavy rain, and even tornadoes. While the morning began dry with warm temperatures, showers are expected to start around 5 p....
Radar images often show two main patterns. One shows single, isolated storms while the other displays a long line of storms. Each pattern points to different risks and needs special attention. On April 17, tiny pressure shifts and surface conditions pushed small pockets of rising air ahead of a big cold front. These pockets produced separate storms that could grow o...
