A low-pressure system that has tracked up the East Coast continues to bring threats of coastal flooding, heavy rainfall, and strong winds. While this system has not developed, and is not expected to develop, any tropical characteristics, it’s behaving much like an early-season Nor’easter, delivering similar impacts minus the cold and snow. Areas along the shores of North Carolina to New England were impacted by this system.<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1977894622975430882" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/1977894622975430882"></div> The system is expected to move away from the coast through Tuesday, <h2>Rainfall</h2>Not much heavy rain is expected from this system, especially as it moves away from the East Coast. A few scattered rainshowers still remain possible.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/10-13 east-1760408242196.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Coastal flood alerts have been slowly ending for much of the Atlantic Coast. Sea water flooding during high tides could still approach 2-3 feet of inundation in some areas (warning areas in dark green).<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 124140-1760380906842.png">The major flood stage is expected to be reached around the southern Chesapeake, mostly during high tides. Prepare for sea water inundation to continue into Monday.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 124158-1760380926209.png">Stay with WeatherNation for the latest updates.

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!

It's been months since meaningful snow fell over the higher terrain of California, but that's going to change in the days ahead. Heavy rain, snow, and gusty winds are on the way to the Golden State as a strong trough digs south from Canada to start the work week. Expect impacts to travel in higher terrain, especially over I-80 and CA SR 50 on either side of Lake Tahoe. Over a foot of snow could fall on these corridors.<h1>Forecast</h1>Scattered rain and snow showers will drift south through the overnight, delivering the first round of snow to the Sierra. Rain moves south along the coast to Los Angeles by Tuesday morning as snow continues in the Central Sierra. Conditions are expected to improve by Wednesday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/10-13 west vans3k-1760407474437.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Rainfall totals look impressive for an October storm system in California, as it's a bit early in the season for precipitation this heavy. Pockets of 1-3 inches of rain are expected, with isolated totals approaching 4". Rainfall rates and the potential for flooding will likely be highest Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 200240-1760407484276.png"><h1>Snowfall</h1>Snow totals are expected to top a foot or even two feet in the high Sierra, while areas around the Donner Pass can expect 6-12 inches at the summit. Be sure to carry chains and use them once the requirement is put into effect. The heaviest snow is expected from Monday evening into Tuesday.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 200504-1760407514600.png">Winter Storm Warnings (Pink) and Winter Weather Advisories (Purple) have been issued for the Sierra Nevada, including South Lake Tahoe and Mammoth Lakes, with treacherous travel expected.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 200458-1760407522378.png">This will be the first storm this season for the Sierra Nevada. Make sure you are prepared for winter driving across the passes! Heavy bursts of snow are likely at times in the Central Sierra.<h1>Severe Threat</h1>With such a potent trough ushering in the cold air to fire up snow, it will also help organize storms in the lower elevations. Which means the threat of a few severe storms will move in as the storms do tonight. For areas closer to Los Angeles, it could be after midnight before storms push in. <h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 100505-1760371875330.png">Rain &amp; Flooding</h1>Heavy rain is another worry with recently burned scarred land in California.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 200646-1760407621487.png">Flash flooding and debris flows will be possible through Tuesday.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 154404-1760391848999.png">Stay with Weather Nation for the latest, with your West Regional forecast every :50 past the hour.

Flash flooding will continue to be possible in the southwestern United States over the next couple of days. Be sure to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home">check your property's flood zone</a> and have a plan to seek higher ground if necessary. NEVER drive through flood waters if you cannot easily see the water's depth or the road below it. Washouts are likely in the next few days. In fact, several people needed swift water rescues in Las Vegas Friday night as record rainfall targeted the city (0.92" - 4th wettest day on record in October).<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1977396340784067042" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/1977396340784067042"></div> The remnant moisture from the two most recent tropical systems in the Eastern Pacific, Priscilla and Raymond, led to heavy showers and thunderstorms over a wide range of terrain throughout the weekend. and now a trough out west and a ridge out east are helping to funnel moisture into New Mexico and Colorado. Several inches of rain are expected across the Four Corners with isolated heavier totals.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 202043-1760408528843.png">In addition to the flood threat, severe storms are possible through Wednesday as the trough moving through the northern Rockies increases wind shear farther south. Damaging wind gusts are expected to be the primary threat, but large hail could accompany any of the stronger storms in the afternoons.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 202123-1760408570733.png">We have seen heavy rain and flooding with these storms, and that threat will continue over the next few days. The surge of moisture through Tuesday from Raymond will also increase flood chances for areas of Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/10-13 rsw bnams-1760408633090.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>We'll be detailing this more live on WeatherNation.

The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season has thus far been dominated by strong hurricanes, curving away from the United States with a few close calls/impacts from weaker systems. Don't let your guard down! October and even November can still churn out strong storms in the Gulf and Caribbean. That being said, we have another storm that will be picking on the fish in the Atlantic. Tropical Storm Lorenzo formed Monday morning and will stay well out to sea. About the only meteorologically significant nugget with Lorenzo is whether it will reach hurricane strength.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 204838-1760410129327.png">The Climate Prediction Center (CPC) has outlined a few regions with chances for tropical development through the middle/end of October.<h2><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-10 045254-1760093597412.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-10 045309-1760093605441.png">EASTERN PACIFIC</h2>The more active basin is still going. Another area of development is being monitored by the National Hurricane Center, but nothing is expected to form in the next few days. The next name on the list in the Eastern Pacific Basin is Sonia.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 201936-1760408389071.png">Make sure to stay tuned to WeatherNation for the latest on the tropics.

NORTHWEST - After winter weather alerts were issued last week in the northwest, and snow totals topped out at 25", another round of potential snowfall is in store for the northwest.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 203655-1760409468608.png">This next round will be much more scattered in nature and may take a day or so to really accumulate on the mountain peaks. Currently ,there are no winter weather alerts in place for the Rockies, but rain and snow are certainly in the forecast.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/10-13 rnw bams-1760407820926.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>From now through Friday, rain totals may reach an inch and snowfall totals may surpass half a foot, especially in the Tetons, northern Rockies, and Bitteroots.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot 2025-10-13 200736-1760407856764.png">For more details on how this may impact temperatures, be sure to join us at :50 past the hour on TV for your west regional forecast.
