Intense rain and wind began impacting California again on Thursday and continued throughout the weekend as a strong Pacific trough began moving inland. Flooding reports and landslides have been reported across the entire state over the last few days after some places received more than six inches of rain!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-17 082640-1763393207828.png">Fortunately, the worst should be behind California. As the system treks east however, the excessive rainfall outlook will follow. The biggest concern lies in cities like Lake Havasu City, for the slight risk for flash flooding.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web1-1763465260933.png"><h1>Timing</h1>The frontal boundary has pushed onshore and will start to moves east before being pulled back towards California through Tuesday. Western Arizona and southern Nevada can expect some decent moisture throughout the majority of Tuesday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/2025-11-18 04-29-05-1763465368938.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>You can also watch the regional forecast on demand with the WeatherNation app!

Alana Cameron was born and raised in Canada in the city of Mississauga, just outside of Toronto. Alana is the oldest of 4 siblings, all close in age, and grew up playing outside with them in all types of weather. After graduating high school, Alana moved to study at the University of British Columbia in Kelowna for a year before transferring to Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she completed a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Atmospheric Science. Upon completion, Alana moved back to Toronto where she completed a post-grad degree in Meteorology at York University. After her post-grad, she went on to complete another post-grad in Broadcast Journalism - TV News at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. During her final year of studies she had the privilege of interning with the best in the business in Canada at The Weather Network. Once she finished her internship, she got the call from small-town Denison, Texas where she accepted a job as an on-air meteorologist at KTEN-TV, right in tornado alley, covering severe weather from Sherman/Denison (North Texas) to Ada (Southern Oklahoma). After the most active tornado season Oklahoma had seen in May 2019 (105 tornadoes!) Alana is excited to join WeatherNation to cover weather all across the nation. If you're interested in following her on social media she can be found @alanacameronwx!

Snow chances, a rain/snow mix, and even severe storms are all in the forecast as our next upper-level low tracks from the Northern Plains into the Ohio Valley.<h2>Ohio Valley</h2>As the low shifts east on Tuesday, the SPC maintains a MARGINAL risk for severe weather along the same warm front across parts of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Most storms should be hail-producers, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web1-1763464930404.png">Here's a look at the timing, some of these storms will be ongoing from Monday night's weather, it's the same system moving through after all. As we start to run into more daytime heating Tuesday, the severe risk is focused on the areas highlighted above.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/2025-11-18 04-22-34-1763464979913.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>The National Weather Service has also issued winter weather advisories across portions of Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky through Tuesday morning for the potential of light icing.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/we2-1763465021376.png">With temperatures hovering near freezing, expect a widespread rain/snow mix (“the pink” on forecast maps). Roads may be sloppy at times from Monday night through Tuesday night, but with relatively warm ground temperatures, most of the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic should avoid significant accumulation.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web4-1763465058229.png">For more on this story join us on WeatherNation for the latest!

It is that time of year again—when millions of Americans hit the road or the skies to connect with friends and family. AAA is expecting a record number of travelers this year, a number surpassing a record-breaking 2024!

However, there will be some better times to do your traveling. AAA suggests starting the journey early but with a reasonable night of sleep the night prior.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-17 105052-1763401888415.png">With so many traveling over the holidays, there are some favored destinations.

The next few days are going to be really nice with above-average temperatures across the Central and Southern Plains. Highs are expected to creep into the 80s. As we jump ahead a few days, the middle and end of next week are looking quite active and stormy! Storms look to fire up along a dryline on Wednesday across Texas and Oklahoma, and storms quickly increase in coverage and severity as we tap into daytime heating and humidity.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/11-17 rsc-1763434708733.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>The Storm Prediction Center has issued a MARGINAL (level 1 out of 5) risk for severe storms on Wednesday in portions of West Texas and into the Red River Valley of Oklahoma.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-17 131956-1763410798947.png">Although we are a couple of days out from the event, some of the early signs point to heavy rain and severe chances increasing across the Southern Plains starting Wednesday. We're honing in on Thursday with the best bet to see rainfall overwhelm the soils in the southern plains.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-17 195844-1763434731442.png">The Weather Prediction Center has also issued excessive rainfall outlooks starting Wednesday and continuing through the end of the week.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/ezgif-33796e7e0c9b9b7f-1763410911237.gif">We'll have the latest updates on this developing situation at :30 past the hour in your Central Regional Forecast!
