This big storm up in Alaska is like "What hurricane?"

Waves (white) have already topped 8 feet in the Gulf, with wind gusts to 45 mph (blue) far from Hurricane #Isaias.

Hurricane Isaias now holds the record as the latest forming first hurricane in the Atlantic Basin, breaking the previous record set by Hurricane Four in 1905 by 3.5 hours last night. www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane...

When you combine the temperatures with the number of days, this year has been the worst year for heat waves on record. Incl. 4cast thru Oct. 9, Los Angeles will be at 113 for the AccuWeather Heat Wave Severity Index value. Beats record of 93 in 1983. Here's a look at the last 10 years.

WeatherMatrix @weathermatrix.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
This is pretty impressive. If you add up the severity of all the heat waves this year in Los Angeles, the number is tied with 1983 as the worst heat wave year (and only through Oct. 4!) accuweather.com/en/weather-f...

A new #NOLO (not POLO) story! YOLO! (Hurricane Nolo has become Typhoon Nolo)

Hurricane Nolo crosses International Date Line, becomes Typhoon Nolo
Crossing over into the Western Pacific basin, Hurricane Nolo has become Typhoon Nolo, and the storm isn't done yet.

As many as 23,000 without power in Los Angeles County overnight. Also in that county, the Bouquet Fire. (Some numbers don't match due to rapidly changing conditions)

Update on the NWS Gulf radar outage. NWS has access to the radar data, but the public does not. No estimated time of return. www.walb.com/2026/10/05/n...

NWS Gulf Coast radar communication outage
The radars themselves are working, and NWS forecasters can see data internally, but it is not flowing out to the public, TV stations, apps, and websites.

Every NEXRAD radar in the Florida panhandle area is offline today, making the current heavy rainfall to the area essentially undocumented. This map show the radar quality index. The less quality, the less rain you'll see on radar. Tornado warnings & precip estimates will suffer the most.

However, each cause is expressed differently amongst each power company, so I had to subclassify these. Interestingly, you can see the Connecticut borders because CT is so good at reporting one of those outage types, while NY & MA likely classified the outages as "unknown" which I filtered out.

This image shows 4 days of power outage "causes" during the Nor'easter. The dots are the size of the outage. Not surprisingly, the top 3 causes were wind/tree/weather.

Ruidoso, New Mexico breathing a sigh of relief this morning, as the worst rainfall didn't hit there. They have seen so much terrible flooding in the past, and this was a big threat. However, there were dam breaches and water rescues elsewhere: www.accuweather.com/en/weather-n...

Evacuations underway as Southwest flooding threatens dam failure
Tropical moisture from Hurricane Polo and a pair of other weather systems are fueling dangerous flooding from the Southwest into the Plains, with more rounds of heavy rain expected through Friday.

This map shows the ranking of the height of the storm surge during last weekend's Nor'easter. Stations tagged in red have less than 35 years of data. Most impressive was Little Egg Inlet, New Jersey, which was only beaten by Hurricane Sandy. Sandy typically is #1-#3 for these stations.
