Scientists predict that a powerful El Nino may form mid‑year, possibly the most intense on record. This warming pulse in the equatorial Pacific can shift heat across the planet, making summers hotter and storms more severe. The World Meteorological Organization says the signal for an El Nino is
Lafayette isn’t just getting rain this weekend—it’s facing a mixed bag of weather trouble. While thunderstorms roll through, the bigger issue isn’t just the noise and lightning. Heavy rain has already soaked parts of the city, with radar showing 1 to 3 inches already fallen. Another 1 to 4 inches co
Morning showers will keep rolling in until the late‑morning rush, especially in the eastern part of the state where rain could linger until nine a. m. By midday, clouds will lift and sunshine will return, nudging temperatures into the low to mid‑sixties across most regions. Boston is poised for a hi
The day ahead looks mixed. Morning skies will stay cloud‑shaded, but by late afternoon the clouds should part, letting a warm breeze in. Temperatures may reach about 74 degrees. A pattern that’s hard to predict has emerged. On Wednesday, cloud layers shifted so the heat measured at different spots
New Jersey will begin Mother’s Day weekend with a pleasant, sunny Friday. Winds from the west keep the air mild and dry, with temperatures climbing into the 60s. A lone shower might break out in the afternoon, but it’s unlikely to disrupt plans. Saturday is where the weather changes. A storm system
Chicago woke up to a chilly shock, with some spots dipping below 30°F. A frost warning covered almost every county except Cook. The National Weather Service said the day was unusually cold for May. Highs should climb into the low 60s, but showers may appear. A storm expert noted that not everyone w
Scientists warn that a huge El Niño is forming in the Pacific and could peak by the end of next year. This storm is expected to be even stronger than the powerful 2015‑16 event and may rival the intense 1877 El Niño, which caused worldwide suffering in the late 19th century. The combination of this
The Great Lakes act like giant weather regulators for Michigan, especially on the eastern and southeastern shores. Water moves heat slower than land, so during summer it absorbs sunshine without getting hot quickly. This keeps nearby towns cooler than places farther inland, giving the lakeshores
A big weather radar at Birmingham’s National Weather Service office has stopped working because of a hardware glitch. The loss happens right when the state expects heavy storms on Wednesday afternoon and into the night. The office still has to keep its eyes open for danger, but it can rely on oth
The University of Vermont has just finished building a new weather‑monitoring tower in Lyndonville, the first of about twenty planned across the state. The goal is to fill blind spots in the national radar system and give local officials more time to warn people about floods or blizzards. Becaus
