And they'd get away with it to if it weren't for us kids. If this feels familiar, it should. Mario and Lorena had similar fates. Or at least their moisture did. The constant factory of the Eastern Pacific has churned out weekly storms for the better part of the last month, with many forming in similar areas. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 100950-1758730202727.png">The moisture ends up in a spot that a persistent Pacific Ocean trough can take some off of the top. The difference each time: it's ended in different locations after that. This latest bout looks to target Arizona and New Mexico. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 101041-1758730251912.png">Tropical moisture in a desert sounds hard to do but is often a bad mixture. Flash flooding will be possible with areas of southeast Arizona picking up to 5 inches of rain over the coming days. This could help a lackluster monsoon season look better. It will be interesting to see how the drought monitor looks in a week. For now, extreme to exceptional levels of drought are in place. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 101223-1758730369908.png">The heaviest of the rain will arrive Thursday but will linger through Saturday, keeping the flooding threat around. Washes can help direct some heavy rain in the area, but burned lands could have much more difficulty. <video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/2025-09-24 10-15-00-1758730534202.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

Rain finally moves into areas that have been drought-stricken. There will be a chance of repeated storms and downpours across the mid-south through the northeast.&nbsp; A cold front will be pushing eastward across the eastern portions of the United States, where most of these storms will develop along the front.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 084229-1758724971383.png">Cities like Atlanta have not received that much rain. Atlanta has received only 0.02 inches of rainfall for the month of September. This set the record for the driest September since record-keeping.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 084320-1758725011813.png">Over the next several days, the Weather Prediction Center has issued excessive rainfall outlooks. A slight risk has been issued for&nbsp;Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, and the southern portions of Ohio. A Marginal risk will hover over the south for the next 5 days.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 084352-1758725044057.png">Rainfall totals can reach 1-2 inches, and isolated totals of 3 inches or higher will be possible for areas in the Slight Risk.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 084424-1758725077648.png">Tune into WeatherNation for more details.

Taban Sharifi grew up in Southern California between Los Angeles and San Diego. She is a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) with the American Meteorological Society (AMS). She has a B.S. in Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Environmental Sciences with a minor in Environmental Systems and Society from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Go Bruins! While in school, Taban was a meteorology intern with NBC LA. There she helped forecast daily weather for the greater Los Angeles region and created a playbook to deploy weather sensors for NBC owned-and-operated stations across the country. Her first on-air job took her to San Angelo, Texas, where she was a morning meteorologist and co-anchor. Working in West Texas gave her knowledge and experience covering severe storms. From there, she moved to Palm Springs, California. People think forecasting in California is sunshine all the time, but with temperatures in the 120’s, wildfires, damaging winds, floodings, and earthquakes, the forecasting kept her very busy! She also worked there as a general assignment reporter and told community stories. Taban is excited for the challenge and opportunity to forecast nationally with WeatherNation. She also looks forward to exploring all that Colorado has to offer!

The risk for severe weather from this cold front continues towards the Gulf through Wednesday and Thursday. Damaging winds are the primary concern here as we approach the middle to late end of the week. The threat for these strong storms remains at a Marginal, level 1, risk both days.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/0924-1758724078077.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Storms will follow along and ahead of the frontal boundary through the rest of the work week. For now, Friday remains under a general thunderstorm risk. Highest threats for severe damaging winds will be today and Thursday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/09241-1758724301160.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>The other concern is the threat of flooding. With multiple rounds of showers and storms rivers, creeks, and streams will already be swollen which could keep the risk elevated through today. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 083315-1758724400906.png">Still, isolated flooding does remain a threat through Thursday in localized spots.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 083331-1758724443295.png">Tune in to WeatherNation live for more updates.

<h1>Hurricane Narda</h1>After forming on Sunday, Hurricane Narda will continue to move into favorable conditions for tropical development. Narda has strengthened to a category 2 hurricane and will continue strengthening to potentially a major hurricane later this week.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 083647-1758724613778.png">Narda could produce flooding in Mexico over the next few days before it begins to turn more westerly. Large swells and strong currents could continue to reach the coast as the system pulls away.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/2025-09-24 06-28-15-1758709721027.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>The next name up on the Pacific hurricane season names list is Octave.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/pic4-1758489232360.png">Reminder that we're getting over the final little peak of the Pacific hurricane season. It's important to continue to stay updated all the way throughout!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-23 162649-1758666412879.png">Stay tuned on WeatherNation for all the latest updates on this new invest.

Eastern Pacific: Narda Becomes a CAT 2 Hurricane

We are now past the climatological peak of Atlantic Hurricane Season, but still have a ways to go for the season.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 063435-1758717278455.png"> Conditions are slowly becoming more active in the Atlantic as Gabrielle churns out over the open waters, and two other systems have the potential for tropical development over the week.<h1>Gabrielle</h1>Gabrielle is now the second MAJOR hurricane for the 2025 Atlantic season. Monday morning, Gabrielle strengthened to a Category 4 storm with sustained winds at 140 mph, but has now come back down to Category 3 hurricane. According to the NHC, 3-5" of rain may happen across the Azores.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/web1-1758709018356.png">Hurricane Gabrielle is expected to make its way to Spain and Portugal by the coming weekend. First, looking to pass through, or near, the Azores.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/web1-1758709122084.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/web1-1758709161354.png"><h1>Tropical Waves</h1>#1. Invest 93L - This area of interest continues to show increasing signs of organization. It is expected to move into even more favorable conditions for further development. This has a high chance of developing into a tropical system, likely a tropical depression, within the next couple of days.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 063048-1758717053178.png">#2. Invest 94L - another tropical wave also has a high chance of formation. This large area is associated with showers, thunderstorms, and gusty winds. Heavy rainfall and strong winds look to move through Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands today and the Dominican Republic by tonight.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 063210-1758717135531.png">The next two names to look out for if these storms become our next named systems in the Atlantic will be Humberto and Imelda. As for the potential track of these areas, there is still a lot of uncertainty as to the direction they will go over the next week ahead. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-24 063353-1758717237659.png">Do not let your guard down! September is historically the peak of hurricane season, and ocean conditions remain favorable for additional development. However, the NHC urges residents along the Atlantic basin to monitor updates closely.<div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="false" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W2bhqfX0B0A" start="0"></iframe></div>As always, preparedness is key. Whether or not this particular system develops into a named storm, it serves as a reminder that the Atlantic remains active and that the window for tropical threats is far from closed.
