UPPER MIDWEST: An area of low pressure will continue to bring heavy rain to the High Plains and upper Great Lakes region overnight as it is nearly stationary. This rainfall is desperately needed - there is significant drought through Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa.By Tuesday and Wednesday, as the low drops south and combines with a surface low pressure system, there will be enough energy to support isolated severe storms. The greatest chance of strong to severe thunderstorms is when the front moves through these spots during the afternoon and early evening, when energy due to warm temperatures and humidity is maximized. <video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/2023-09-25 07-43-56-1695649947077.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>As the low moves into a slightly more favorable environment Tuesday, the Storm Prediction Center posted a MARGINAL (level 1 out of 5) risk for severe thunderstorms across Illinois and Indiana. Storms may gain enough strength to pose a risk of quarter-size hail and a few strong wind gusts.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/09-25_rnc_svr tue-1695669132430.jpg">Another low-end severe weather risk is expected on Wednesday as the frontal system moves east into the Ohio River Valley. Once again damaging hail and winds are possible.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/09-25_rnc_wed spc-1695669143867.jpg">For more on this top weather headline be sure to join us live for the latest details.

Kara has always been passionate about weather and knew from an early age that she wanted to become a meteorologist. Living in different regions of the country and experiencing weather events ranging from ice storms to tornadoes drove her to pursue a bachelor's degree in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma. Throughout college, storm chasing became a regular event for Kara, where she saw first-hand the power of the atmosphere. Kara graduated cum laude from OU and decided to further her meteorology education with a Master's degree from Mississippi State University. The deadly April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak struck while Kara was studying at MSU; her first “Dixie Alley” tornado event and an up close glimpse into the destruction of the storms she so closely studied. Her broadcast career began in Elvis’ birthplace, Tupelo, Mississippi, where she earned her Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal from the American Meteorological Society. Kara's career has included coverage of all types of severe weather including tornado events, flooding and tropical systems across multiple southern states. Recently she helped cover the 2020 Easter Sunday deadly tornado outbreak in southeast Mississippi. In her free time, you can find Kara outdoors exploring new areas with her mini poodle,Truffles. Kara is also an avid runner and frequently races in 5Ks, 10Ks and half marathons.

WEST COAST: An early-season atmospheric river has been bringing in rainy days to the west coast of Washington, Oregon, and California. In fact, on the atmospheric river scale, this event is forecast to become an AR4. These forecasts are released by the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/iwv-and-ivt-forecasts/">Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes</a> from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/09-25_ar scale-1695668238161.jpg">The AR Scale can be complicated to understand, but the bottom line is that it is based on the duration of the event and the amount of water these systems hold.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/r scale-1695599361864.jpg">The heavy rain will slow down overnight along the west coast, but additional pushes of moisture coming onshore from the Pacific will bring more rounds of rain into mid-week. Tuesday's heavy rain risk is primarily into Washington and Oregon, while California doesn't get much rain until later in the week.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/9-25 RNW rain-1695696468618.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Rainfall totals will be heaviest along the Pacific Coast and into the foothills of the Cascades, with isolated pockets of half a foot of rainfall through Wednesday! Cooler air moving in with the next front will also bring some snow to the Cascades!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/09-25_west acc 18z-1695688775809.jpg">Isolated areas of flooding are possible in spots that are prone to flood, and near burn scars from previous fires.

We are now down to one tropical wave and one named storm in the Atlantic: Philippe (pronounced: fee - LEEP). Tropical Storm Philippe is moving west at 12 mph and is forecast to maintain its strength as a tropical storm over open waters passing north of the Leeward and Windward islands.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/philippe depressed-1695696343596.jpg">We are also watching an area of low pressure that has formed several hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands. Gradual development is likely and we could see a tropical depression form over the next few days. This wave is moving west - northwest.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/09-25_al 91 new headlines n60-1695688336975.jpg">Since the National Hurricane Center is investigating this wave, spaghetti plots have been released on this potential storm.

After a very hot, dry last few months, Texas is finally getting rain, and severe storms as a front dips south. Baseball-sized hail fell in Round Rock (just north of Austin) Sunday evening and destroyed cars (above)! Check out the tornado-warned storm that moved through Commerce, Texas late Sunday afternoon/evening (below).<blockquote><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/VO_092423_RSC_COMMERCE, TX_COOL TIME LAPSE APPROACHING THE ROTATING TORNADO WARNED STORM_TW_@ONLYNADERS_DW_E092423-1695610708228.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video></blockquote>While a few severe storms produced quarter size hail and winds up to 60 mph Monday, it was a much less stormy day compared to Sunday. As the front drops even farther south overnight, the severe risk shifts into coastal Texas. Isolated storms will be capable of quarter-size hail and damaging winds, with heavy rain a hazard in all storms.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/9-25 tx ovn svr-1695695975129.png">The tail end of the front will also fire up storms on Tuesday, especially along the higher terrain of New Mexico. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/09-25_rsc_tue spc-1695670366271.jpg">Once again we expect a few stronger storms but heavy rain is the primary threat.

Right now much of the fall foliage is seen in the Rockies where cooler air is starting to make an influence. We want to avoid a quick freeze though, as that could cause the leaves to wilt and die before they reach their true potential! Colors should start to explode in the coming days across Colorado when the Aspens turn. In addition, cooler air moving into the Northwest should create further color across the Cascades!Have the leaves started changing where you live? We are now into Meteorological Fall, with the Autumnal Equinox just around the corner. We will continue to notice the changing leaves in the coming weeks.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/PKG_092920_TRT 1.52_WHEN LEAVES CHANGE_ROB BRADLEY_CM_E092920-1694870877324.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>But why and how do leaves change color? It is due to Chlorophyll in the leaves decaying into the cooler weather of the season. We've still been quite warm so the changeover has been slow for many.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/why they change-1694871127699.jpg">In fact, the majority of the country (outside of mountains over 10k feet) hasn't dropped below freezing or close to it yet this fall - we are roughly two weeks behind schedule for the Rockies, Bitterroots, and Cascades which could be contributing to the slow to develop colors. The colder air is arriving though, which should speed up the color changes.<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1704911375175393467" src="https://twitter.com/WeatherNation/status/1704911375175393467"></div>Have fall foliage photos to share?

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!

Ophelia made landfall around 6:15 a.m. ET on Saturday, near Emerald Isle, North Carolina as a strong tropical storm. Maximum sustained winds reached 70 mph, with a minimum pressure of 981 mb. Even though Ophelia has now weakened into a Post-Tropical Cyclone, it will continue to bring gusty winds, storm surge, high surf, and heavy rain to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast through the rest of this weekend. Power outages have been isolated in some communities, but utility crews have been fast-acting in getting power restored.<div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/WeatherNation/videos/1001927184348846" data-width="500" src="https://www.facebook.com/WeatherNation/videos/1001927184348846" style="display: flex; justify-content: center"></div>The heaviest rain will favor Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey going forward into Sunday. Ophelia will slowly nudge up the I-95 corridor, and continue to weaken as it moves north. Even as a remnant low, it will bring rain and wind impacts Sunday and Monday to the Northeast.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/0924-1695577066510.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>Flood Threat</h2>Heavy rainfall could lead to flooding, especially in areas that are prone to gathering high water. This includes coastal communities along with inland areas. Upwards of 6" of rain already fell since Ophelia's impacts began and an additional 1-2" of rain is possible through Monday morning as Ophelia makes its way up the Eastern Seaboard. Localized heavier amounts of up to 3 inches may be possible. Heavy rain in the urban corridors of the Northeast could lead to flash flooding, especially in areas of New England that have been soggy over the last few weeks.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot 2023-09-24 113817-1695577103492.png">Coastal flood alerts have been issued through the Mid-Atlantic coast from New Jersey to Virginia for the push of seawater moving on shore due to Ophelia's wind field. This is where we expect freshwater rainfall flooding and the rise of rivers and oceans to create flooding on low-lying areas.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot 2023-09-24 113838-1695577123655.png">The Weather Prediction center has issued a marginal and slight risk for heavy rain as this system moves north. Please do not drive through flooded roadways and limit travel.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/ophelia-1695562731437.jpg"><h2>Wind</h2>Winds will gust in the range of 20- 35 mph for coastal communities and 10-20 mph for inland areas. The wind will stir up the ocean and onshore flooding will create issues for barrier islands and east-facing beaches.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/09241-1695577183538.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Continue to monitor the latest weather hazards, including any alerts, with regard to Ophelia.

ROCKIES - It's September in the Rockies and while some of us may be leaf-peeping, a taste of winter is knocking at our door. The National Weather Service has issued its first winter weather advisories for the northern Rockies of Montana and Bitterroots of Idaho. From 6,000 to 6,500 feet about 1-2" of wet snow can be expected. Above 7,500 feet between 2-5" of snow, and at the summits up to 10" are possible. This includes Glacier National Park. In addition to snowfall, winds over the Divide may gust as high as 45 mph which will lower visibility for travelers.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/snow-1695329702997.jpg">In addition to the chance of snowfall, much cooler air is expected across the Northwest as this incoming upper-level low swings through. Rain is expected at many lower elevations, and generally unsettled weather can be expected for the next few days. Rainfall may be heavy at times, so excessive rainfall outlooks have been issued through the start of the weekend.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/2023-09-22 07-59-48-1695391216763.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>If you live in any of the areas and take a weather picture or video, be sure to tag us on X, Facebook, or Instagram @weathernation and we may feature your video!

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.

Severe storms will be likely across the Southern Plains today, with a level 2 risk across portions of Oklahoma and Texas (above). Not everyone will see severe weather, however, the storms that do meet the severe criteria will primarily consist of hail 1" in diameter or larger and gusts 60 mph or stronger. An isolated tornado is also possible from Dallas north across the Red River Valley.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/09-21 Tor-1695297460269.png">The first round looks to be the most intense into the early evening, followed by another round of intense storms in the early morning hours (mostly before dawn). Friday afternoon looks to quiet down before a large trough and frontal system move into the region Saturday which will likely lead to a line of intense storms around I-35 starting in the early afternoon.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/2023-09-21 14-49-18-1695329397477.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Though no outlook by the Storm Prediction Center for Friday for severe storms, the risk for a couple stronger cells is still possible as shown above especially in the morning hours. Heavy rainfall will be possible, with the heaviest rain concentrated across the Red River Valley. Scattered flash flooding may occur in this area, especially Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/09-21 TX Rain-1695298045268.png">We will be tracking these storms live as part of our top weather headlines.

Check out the dusting of snow at Loveland ski area Thursday night! Cold air plunging in dropped overnight temps into the 30s for the highest elevations of Colorado, and more snow will be possible tonight for spots over 12k feet! Most will just see a dusting but a couple of the highest peaks could see close to 2-4"! Get ready for more whitecaps on the mountains.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/4-1694821790365.jpg">Showers and storms will be around overnight and into Friday with the potential of wet weather state-wide, though most of us below 12,000 feet will see rainfall. Travel impacts will be limited due to snowfall but we could see a few isolated pockets of slick mountain roads. Meanwhile thunderstorms on the Front Range could cause isolated flooding issues, especially through urban areas. Expect 1-2" of rain with locally higher pockets.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/2023-09-15 07-50-59-1694785939751.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Temperatures will be coldest higher in elevation, but there is the potential of overnight lows in the 40s even for the Front Range. Get ready for that fall feeling!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/lows-1694785895576.jpg">

Even though Hurricane Lee is passing well offshore from the Southeast U.S. impacts will still be felt from Florida's Atlantic Coast up to the Carolinas. HIGH rip current risk is in effect both Thursday and Friday along with waves that could be up to 7' in height during the day. If you're at the beach or in a coastal community, prepare for impacts through the end of the week. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/fri waves-1694704450279.jpg">It may not be the best beach weather though - a stalled front is keeping a lot of the Southeast cloudy and humid with shower chances each afternoon. Try not to curse the rain too much, especially along I-10 as rainfall is needed! <video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/2023-09-14 08-48-52-1694704495458.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Temps will be slightly cooler under the influence of clouds and rain in the Southeast, with the coolest days Thursday and Friday. Heat starts to creep back up into the end of the weekend. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/09/southeast cooler-1694704479574.jpg">
