Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

The Eastern Pacific Basin has been active over the past week, with Hurricane Lorena dissipating near Baja but still causing flooding issues. Kiko has reached category 4 status three times, but is expected to continue weakening as it approaches the Hawaiian Islands.<h1>KIKO</h1>Hurricane Kiko continues to churn west as an impressive major hurricane, and with the latest update, Kiko is back up to Category 4 strength.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/pic6-1757211378130.png">The forecast cone brings Kiko close to the Hawaiian Islands. Residents should monitor this forecast closely over the next day or two, making preparations as necessary over the next several days. Expect rainfall as it passes, but the larger impacts will be high surf expected to reach the Hawaiian Islands towards the end of this weekend. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/pic6-1757211818529.png">While Kiko is relatively small at the moment, it could grow significantly in size as it weakens, which is common for tropical systems. This means tropical storm-force winds will have an outside chance to impact the islands, despite the center of the storm likely passing to the north.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-06 164644-1757198810951.png">Big swells and strong currents are the most likely impacts to Hawaii from Kiko. Dangerous currents could begin on Sunday and last through much of the week as Kiko's growing wind field continues to generate large waves.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/bigwaveshi-1757198917838.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Another potential area of development over the open waters has a low chance of developing in the next seven days. A center of low pressure has formed, but any development in the short or mid-range is not expected.

UPDATE: A tropical disturbance in the eastern Atlantic now has a 0% chance of becoming a tropical depression within the next seven days. This is a significant drop from Friday, when the wave had a high chance to develop, up to 90%! The National Hurricane Center (NHC) designated the tropical wave Invest 91L on Thursday. According to the NHC.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/PIC 2-1757203877991.jpg">Development in the Atlantic could occur through the middle and end of September, which is typically the peak of hurricane season. The Climate Prediction Center shows several regions in the next few weeks with low to moderate confidence in development.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-06 063404-1757162059921.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-06 063411-1757162066655.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.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-04 053605-1756985781092.png">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. Tune into WeatherNation TV for the latest updates.

The severe weather risk has been removed from the forecast for the Northeastern U.S.. Areas of the Northeast did see large hail and damaging winds. The heavy rain threat will continue through Sunday across the Northeast and that means a risk for some flash flooding.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/PIC 2-1757210229660.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/PIC 4-1757210239810.jpg">We currently don't have a severe weather outlook for Sunday, but areas along the coast of North Carolina and Massachusetts (Cape and the Islands) could see a few severe storms early Sunday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/FORECAST-1757204091287.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Rainfall totals could surpass 2-4 inches in a few areas, posing the threat for localized flooding.

While we're only a few days removed from the month of August, it's been feeling more like winter for some! Residents in locations across North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado woke up to temperatures in the mid-20s earlier Saturday morning (see above)!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-06 165014-1757199398808.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/pic6-1757211078720.png">While the cooler airmass remains in place, temperatures are expected to drop quickly again into the early morning hours of Sunday. New alerts have been issued, with Frost Advisories covering much of the Dakotas, and a few counties in northern Minnesota under a Freeze Warning.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-06 165053-1757199830824.png">While temperatures have bottomed out under clear skies at night, sunshine during the day has been modifying the cold airmass. As it is still early September, the sun angle remains quite high in the sky! Directly behind the front, however, is a different story, with temperatures nearly 20° cooler on Saturday afternoon compared to 24 hours prior.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-06 165111-1757199960799.png">For the latter half of the weekend, the cold front will bring temperatures down across the Northeast. Where the front has not cleared, temperatures will push back into the 90s.

NORTHERN PLAINS - A series of cold fronts will move through the Midwest to the northeast over the next several days. First, a cold front that moved down from Canada on Tuesday will continue to bring strong storms, gusty winds, and cooler temperatures across the Northern tier of the country through the end of the week. Then, this weekend, a second cold front arrives from Canada to reinforce the cooler air.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/09-03 RNC STORMS-1756955636998.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>Temperatures</h2>Behind the front, temperatures will drop significantly as winds shift to the north.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-02 160633-1756850797164.png">For many areas, this will be the coolest air since spring, even cooler than the most recent bout of chilly temperatures. Morning lows are expected to dip into the 40s on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with Friday likely to be the coldest morning across the Northern Plains.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-02 121321-1756836809221.png">Long-range trends keep the eastern U.S. with high confidence in temperatures being below average.

PHILADELPHIA - As the Philadelphia Eagles celebrate their championship on Thursday, Mother Nature will try to provide the fireworks. A powerful cold front is bringing record cold temperatures to those in the Midwest and Great Lakes will pivot eastward on Thursday. That could mean trouble for some outdoor activities. According to some local reports, the Eagles won't even be on the field for the ceremony. But with plenty of fans in the stands, we thought we'd take a look at the forecast for the afternoon.<h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-03 111753-1756919960734.png">LIGHT THE FUSE</h1>As our cold front drops in, it will fire up a line of storms, that will be capable of producing gusty winds along the leading edge. Unfortunately for any ceremony-goers, it looks like the 5-8 PM ET window might be the easiest one for the storms to fit into. It doesn't have a ton of juice to work with, but there will be just enough combined with the strength of the front to keep the severe potential on the table.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-03 111657-1756920009454.png">The Storm Prediction Center is already monitoring the area for the threat of severe storms, with a wide area capable of picking up damaging winds. With plenty of lightweight objects to toss around, from the celebration to tailgating, higher winds would be unwelcome. <h1>Timing</h1>Storms will lean toward the evening hours, making a close call with the ceremonies. <video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/2025-09-03 11-52-00-1756922059738.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>FINE THEN LET'S TRY BRAZIL</h1>Since the weather doesn't want to cooperate stateside, we get to try again Friday night with the runner-ups down in Sao Paulo.

Until the past week, has anyone been impressed by the monsoon season this year?Compared to normal, many locations that see most of their rain this time of the year have been left high and dry. All of that dry time has played a pivotal role in the wildfire threat that is seemingly never-ending. This has been the second driest start to a calendar year in the city of Tucson!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-01 104436-1756745109335.png">While some headline-hooking haboobs have brought desert storms to the forefront, many are still pretty far behind, rainfall-wise. However, this week the same high pressure that is baking the Pacific Northwest will also open the door to fling a little moisture westward. Some of this Monsoon moisture will curl around an area of high pressure and move through Southern California.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-01 104956-1756745422822.png">This moisture leaves the southwest under an excessive rainfall outlook for the next 5 days!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Web 9-1756811779052.png">Related articles: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/haboob-blows-through-phoenix-monday-afternoon">Haboob Blows Through Phoenix</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/heatwave-looming-for-the-northwest">Late Summer Heatwave</a>That added moisture will help bolster rain chances as far southwest as southern California!

Slow Monsoon Season Making Up for Lost Time

Web10png-1756811849752.png

I know I know we're confusing a lot of people when we do this a few times every year. It's just a cheat code for our statistics. Instead of comparing different dates and calling them the same every year - we bust the seasons apart by the calendar, not the exact path around the sun.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-01 100252-1756742674398.png">Now, every "meteorological" season is the same. Each and every year, although the equinox will slide around depending on the year. But it got us thinking...<h1>How is the Fall Looking</h1>The Climate Prediction Center issues outlooks that span from 6-10 days to MONTHS in advance. Their outlook for the months of September - November was tweaked towards the end of August, with a large majority of the lower 48 likely warmer than average. Despite the past few weeks making us forget about how toasty it's been, this has been more of the case for much of the Summer. Some areas, like Salt Lake City and Milwaukee, have seen one of their warmest Summers on record.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-01 100946-1756742993606.png">While there is a ton of red on the map, it's also a good reminder they don't issue outlooks based on degrees above or below, but rather the confidence in the outcome. Very red means very confident, but many equate confidence to degrees above. The same argument could be made for rainfall.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-01 101016-1756743111383.png">Is this a good first guess to what the weather will be like on Halloween? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Outlooks like this are similar to the climate vs weather idea: long-term outlooks are more the personality, whereas the daily forecast is the mood. Be sure to keep up with the latest daily forecast as we iron out the details where you live, all Fall long.

Friday marked the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history. On August 29, 2005, the powerful storm made landfall along the Gulf Coast, leaving behind a humanitarian crisis that would forever change New Orleans and the surrounding communities. Two decades later, the memory of Katrina still resonates deeply with survivors, first responders, and all who witnessed the destruction.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-29 082444-1756477525621.png">Katrina began as a tropical storm over the Bahamas on August 23 and quickly strengthened into a massive Category 5 hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico. It made landfall in South Florida as a Category 1 hurricane before moving into the Gulf. By the time it struck near Buras, Louisiana, on August 29, it had slightly weakened to a Category 3, but still packed winds of 125 mph and an unprecedented storm surge. The storm battered coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, causing widespread damage and flooding.&nbsp;<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/082725_PKG_TRT_4.09_JOSH WITH MISSISSIPPI RESIDENTS TALKING ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF KATRINA_NJ-1756463476792.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>New Orleans bore the brunt of the disaster. However, it was not from wind, but from storm surge and catastrophic levee failures. About 80% of the city was submerged, with some neighborhoods under more than 10 feet of water. Tens of thousands of people were trapped without food, water, or medical care. The scenes of stranded families on rooftops and desperate conditions inside the Superdome shocked the world.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot%202025-08-29%20042812-1756463302396.jpg">In total, Hurricane Katrina claimed over 1,800 lives and displaced more than a million people. The economic impact was equally staggering, with damage estimated at over $125 billion. Entire communities, were devastated, many of which still struggle with the long-term effects today.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-29 042839-1756463328273.jpg">Twenty years later, Hurricane Katrina remains a defining moment in American history.

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!

Parts of Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado between Thursday and Friday will also receive some of this remnant moisture. The moisture will extend upward over an upper-level high and push into the southern plains as well. This moisture will mix into existing Monsoon moisture across the region.<h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-28 072805-1756387704794.png">Rainfall</h1>Up to 1 inch of rainfall is possible with Juliette's remnant moisture. Cities like San Diego, Las Vegas, St. George, Salt Lake City, and Grand Junction can expect some rain. Areas over burn scars are particularly concerning due to the fact that it does not take that much rainfall to cause mudslides and debris flows.<h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-28 072841-1756387735526.png">Timing</h1>Most of the moisture streams across the Southwest Region between Thursday and Friday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/2025-08-28 07-26-17-1756387617627.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>Drought</h1>The moisture will help many drought-stricken locations.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/TOMER SW DROUGHT UPDATE-1756341786689.jpg">Tune into the Western Regional forecast :50 past the hour for more details.
