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.

We are now past the climatological peak of Atlantic Hurricane Season, but still have a ways to go for the season.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-22 142424-1758572931672.png"> Conditions are slowly becoming more active in the Atlantic as Gabrielle is churning in the Central Atlantic, while another tropical wave is moving off the coast of Western Africa, and another potential system is east of the Caribbean.<h1>Gabrielle</h1>Gabrielle is now the second MAJOR hurricane for the 2025 Atlantic season. Monday morning, Gabrielle strengthened to a Category 3 storm with sustained winds at 120 mph. It continues to look likely to pass east of Bermuda. People with interests in Bermuda should monitor this storm, as direct and indirect impacts are still possible.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-22 142638-1758572838125.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-22 142650-1758572844655.png">Gabrielle is expected to stay east of Bermuda; its wind field is likely to enhance the strong winds near the East Coast, churning up some large swells and strong currents. There is a high risk for rip currents from North Carolina through New Jersey.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/09-21 wave-1758509525484.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>Tropical Waves</h1>#1. Central Tropical Atlantic - a broad area of low pressure in the central Atlantic could develop into something by the middle to latter part of this week, and a tropical depression could form. This has a high chance (in red) of developing into a tropical system.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-22 142142-1758572858160.png">#2. East of the Windward Islands - another tropical wave has a medium chance (orange) of formation but could bring gusty winds and showers to portions of the Leeward Islands on Tuesday.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-22 142352-1758572868261.png">Conditions will be hostile for this tropical wave for some time as Saharan Dust (dry air) is expected to continue to surge in this area. Better conditions are possible in the middle of the upcoming week as the wave moves toward the Caribbean.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/09-21 saharan dust-1758509624270.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>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.<div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="false" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W2bhqfX0B0A" start="0"></iframe></div>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.

We'll pretend you were waiting on the OFFICIAL start of Fall to start slurping PSLs and chunkin 'punkins. Well now you can! The official equinox rings in a new season Monday at 2:19 PM ET. That is when the sun's rays are perpendicular to the equator. <h2><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-21 112531-1758475587856.png">Did you know? </h2>Most associate the equinox with equal day and night. Because sunlight gets refracted through the atmosphere, it will appear that the sun has risen when it really hasn't - that's the difference between an even split of day and night. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-21 111206-1758477826769.png"><h2>Why do we confuse everyone?</h2>If you're thinking "haven't we already done this?" Yes, well, sort of. Meteorologists did it on September 1st, as a way to keep record books similar year in and year out. The sun's rays are good and all but most people don't feel like we're really INTO Fall until the clocks budge. We've still got some time on that one:<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-21 120755-1758478102692.png">

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.

Heavy showers and storms are slowly shifting east through the Midwest with a trough of low pressure that brought flooding rain to the Plains States for much of this week. Hail up to the size of quarters fell in MN, IL, and WI on Sunday.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/web1-1758546919623.png">A marginal threat for strong and severe storms is in place for Monday. Strong winds and large hail will be the primary threats to watch out for.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/web1-1758560440905.png">Thunderstorm development is expected in the afternoon, according to the SPC. A few multicells are likely to expand in coverage throughout the day posing a large hail and damaging wind threat.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/2025-09-22 13-01-34-1758560523798.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>With multiple rounds of rain and heavy downpours, rainfall totals could top 3-4 inches in some areas by Tuesday morning.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/web2-1758546976368.png">Isolated flash flooding will be possible through at least Wednesday. The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) is highlighting this threat with excessive rainfall outlooks (below).<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/2025-09-22 13-11-53-1758561135404.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

Storms Target the Great Lakes & Ohio Valley

Screenshot20250921210055png-1758510106129.png

An unsettled pattern has returned to portions of the Plains through Tuesday. As this trough gets swallowed by a bigger one, severe chances are only expected to increase, especially once the surface front moves through.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/2025-09-22 09-19-46-1758547229369.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>As the jet energy ramps up, storms that form will move into warm and humid conditions - with temperatures reaching the 80s and 90s in the afternoon. Even as high as the mid to upper 90s down in Texas.The general thinking breaks this system into two waves of storms. Similarly to Sunday, most of the activity will likely spike late Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning. The highest potential for severe weather like damaging winds, hail, and even an isolated tornado will occur in the slight risked areas, which are highlighted in yellow.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/web1-1758547302154.png">This outlook extends into Tuesday, moving the slight risk for severe weather further South. The MARGINAL risk extends all the way into the Ohio River Valley and back into West Texas.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/web1-1758547640673.png">Anytime the threat of severe weather lingers into the overnight hours, make sure you have ways to receive warnings that can wake you up.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/09-21 rsc 18z-1758509810466.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>The other growing concern is the threat of flooding. With multiple rounds of showers and storms rivers, creeks, and streams will already be swollen which could keep the risk elevated.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-21 205718-1758509864418.png">Tune in to WeatherNation live for more updates.

Monsoon season can be enhanced by tropical systems from the Eastern Pacific, in fact, this usually occurs 1-2 times per season on average! For the second time this year, parts of the SW are seeing enhanced precipitation from the tropics, this time from what was Tropical Storm Mario.Mario's moisture led to some intense rainfall from California to New Mexico, producing several significant flash flood events and debris flows, including in Oak Glen. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-19 052003-1758281154453.png">The heaviest of the rain is behind Southern California, but more scattered storms are possible with monsoon moisture across the Lower Four Corners Saturday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/New Baron Video 3-1758337487119.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>The rain was a welcome sight for many in California. Downtown LA hadn't seen rain since the beginning of JUNE!
