<h2>WHAT TO EXPECT</h2><p>A frontal boundary has tapped into abundant energy and wind shear, bringing the threat of severe storms into parts of the Midwest and the South overnight. Severe storms developed on Monday, with multiple damaging winds and hail reports. As the front continues to the east, storms will continue to ride along this front. All severe modes will be possible, and heavy rainfall will also be a concern in any storms that develop. The threat will continue along the frontal boundary.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/2026-11-04 06-44-36-1793792704555.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>WEDNESDAY</h1><p>The severe threat continues into the deep south.

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!

<p>November is underway, but hurricane season isn’t over just yet. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring three areas of interest across the Atlantic and Pacific, including a disturbance that could become a tropical depression later this week. While there are currently no active tropical cyclones in either basin, forecasters are keeping an eye on potential development over the next several days.</p><h2><strong>Atlantic: Possible Subtropical Development Northeast of the Bahamas</strong></h2><p>An area of low pressure is expected to form along a weakening frontal boundary a few hundred miles northeast of the Bahamas in the coming days. According to the NHC, the system could gradually acquire subtropical characteristics late this week as it drifts over the western Atlantic. However, the window for development appears limited. By the weekend, the system is expected to move eastward or northeastward into an environment less favorable for organization.</p><p>The NHC currently gives this system a <strong>50% chance of development over the next seven days</strong>, with formation chances at 30% during the next 48 hours.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-04 062510-1793798753126.png"></p><p>At this time, no tropical cyclone has formed, and the system remains an area to monitor rather than an organized storm.</p><h2><strong>Pacific: Tropical Depression Likely Later This Week</strong></h2><p>The Pacific has a more promising setup for tropical development. A broad area of low pressure located well east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear generally favorable for gradual strengthening and organization as the disturbance tracks westward to west-northwestward at approximately 10 to 15 mph. The NHC says a <strong>tropical depression is likely to form during the middle to latter portions of this week</strong> over the Central Pacific. There is another area that has formed with a <strong>medium </strong>chance of tropical development in the next week.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-04 062516-1793798762751.png"></p><p>While not looking at a land-falling storm, the close proximity of its development could lead to increased waves across the Hawaiian Islands. Regardless of that, there is still quite some time in between. Many details about this forecast can change.</p><h2><strong>Hurricane Season Isn’t Over Yet</strong></h2><p>Although tropical activity typically decreases as fall progresses, the Atlantic hurricane season officially continues through November 30. The Eastern Pacific hurricane season also runs through November 30. For now, neither disturbance has developed into a tropical cyclone, but the Pacific system has the greater potential for organization this week.</p><p>WeatherNation will continue monitoring both areas of interest and provide updates as new information becomes available from the National Hurricane Center.</p>

<p>Florida has seen heavy rainfall and lots of flooding over the last few days. In fact, Melbourne, FL saw its wettest day EVER on record with 11.51" on Monday. Watch the storms train over many of the same areas Monday morning:</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/2026-11-03 07-33-35-1793720142845.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Monday beat out the old record of 10.23" in 2017 with Irma making landfall! We will see things taper off, but there will still be some localized areas of heavy rainfall for Tuesday.

However, isolated downpours are not out of the question. Since most of the soils across the Sunshine State are already saturated, we could continue to see flash flooding through the overnight hours.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/2026-11-04 06-25-25-1793791581447.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Check in with us on WeatherNation at :10 past the hour for your full eastern U.S. breakdown!</p>

<p>Hopefully the costume's picked out by now, the candy receptacle is made or purchased, and physical conditioning is in peak form! It's the week of Halloween, which has all of the spooky lovers in a good mood. The only thing that might get in the way is Mother Nature.</p><h1>TREATS</h1><p>Here is how temperatures are shaping up as kids are heading out for some goodies. Jackets will likely be needed with costumes across the Northeast and the Northwest.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/10/pic6-1793394324970.png"></p><p>Roughly, a line from the Front Range into the High Plains should be good to go if the timing/placement of this ridge is nailed down. That means we just have to prepare for the festivities, with some help from the Red Cross</p><h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot 2026-10-26 080023-1793024061010.png">TRICKS</h1><p>This is where things get...tricky. Right now, the two different areas that are of some concern are the Southern Plains and the West. Another strong trough will pour onshore late in the week, keeping things out west pretty active. Ahead of that trough, plenty of moisture will get pulled north out of the Gulf, which could help fuel stronger storms, depending on how things come together.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/10/10313-1793484418419.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Along and downstream of that feature rippling through the Midwest and eventually the Mid-Atlantic might want to watch the timing on things, just to be sure an umbrella doesn't need to become a part of the costume too. It's too soon to know if it'll be a washout that affects plans all day or splash-n-dash storms that pick on a particular timeframe.</p><h1>FALL BACK</h1><p>Also, remember to set the clocks back an hour going into Sunday. Otherwise, you'll be waking up an hour early when you could have been sleeping off the candy coma instead. Might be a good weekend to replace the batteries in the smoke detectors and weather radios, too!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot 2026-10-31 154707-1793484346746.png">Or maybe take the day to ease into a new way of life, with sunsets closer to 5:00. Although latitude has something to do with it, location within your timezone has a lot to say too.</p><p></p>
