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 2025-09-23 065959-1758632412976.png"> Conditions are slowly becoming more active in the Atlantic as Gabrielle is churning out over the open waters, while two more tropical waves are through the Atlantic.<h1>Gabrielle</h1>Gabrielle is now the second MAJOR hurricane for the 2025 Atlantic season. Monday morning, Gabrielle strengthened to a Category 4 storm with sustained winds at 140 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 2025-09-23 130103-1758654076104.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-23 130110-1758654081290.png"><h1>Tropical Waves</h1>#1. Invest 93L - 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 205009-1758595824333.png">#2. Invest 94L - 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 205017-1758595832175.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.<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.

Storms are greeting millions on Tuesday morning after Monday's storms left a mark for some, with 60-70 mph winds and hailstones that grew to 2 inches in diameter!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-23 070948-1758632997978.png">The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted areas in Arkansas and Oklahoma with the highest risk of severe weather today. The SLIGHT (level 2 out of 5) focuses on the ArkLaTex, Red River Valley, and the southern extent of the Ozarks. In the latest outlook from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC), an ENHANCED (level 3 out of 5) risk for severe weather was issued for Fort Smith and some surrounding areas.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-23 125619-1758653875095.png">The risk for severe weather from this front continues towards the Gulf through Wednesday as well. Damaging winds are the primary concern here as we approach the middle of the week.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-23 125635-1758653882615.png">We may see some discrete supercells (hail, tornado risk) before clustering into linear segments (damaging wind, flood risk). The cold front keeps supporting these storms all the way to the Gulf Coast through Wednesday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/2025-09-23 12-55-07-1758646539838.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 2025-09-22 144929-1758574176103.png">Tune in to WeatherNation live for more updates.

Heavy showers and storms are slowly shifting east from the Midwest to the Northeast 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 hen eggs fell out in Iowa, Wisconsin and Texas on Monday.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/web1-1758635693255.png">The SPC has issued a MARGINAL (level 1 out of 5) risk for severe weather for portions of the Middle Atlantic. A few scattered thunderstorms should develop through this afternoon.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-23 124853-1758653500693.png">Storms will trend eastward, bringing stormy conditions towards the Ohio River Valley, Tennessee Valley, and then towards the DMV.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/east-1758653730731.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.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/web1-1758636387178.png">Isolated flash flooding will be possible through at least Wednesday.

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.

Space weather observations are about to get a substantial upgrade from a new solar observing satellite scheduled to launch on Wednesday, September 24th. In addition, the way we receive critical real time data and forecasts is about to become easier to access and interpret.<div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="false" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0yg8nw0_IKQ" start="0"></iframe></div><h2>Satellite SWFO-L1</h2>This new satellite, Space Weather Follow On at Lagrange (SWFO-L1), will greatly enhance the ability of space weather experts to monitor activity from the sun in real time using several different instruments and is NOAA's first satellite dedicated to continuous, operational space weather observations. Why is monitoring the sun important? Solar phenomena such as Coronal Mass Ejections can disrupt, damage, or even destroy critical infrastructure here on Earth and in orbit, such as satellites, power grids, and communication equipment. This satellite will help replace aging satellites which have been operating well beyond their intended design life with depleting resources (fuel), such as SOHO (1995), ACE (1997), and DSCOVR (2015).NOAA Satellites released the following video to breakdown the instruments and observational capabilities of SWFO-L1.<div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="false" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YgGUchjH83E" start="0"></iframe></div><h2>A New Way To View Space Weather Forecasts</h2>In conjunction with the launch of SWFO, NOAA is beginning a process to revamp how it delivers space weather forecasts. Making them easier to understand, more actionable, and tailored to users in specific sectors.Lynker is NOAA's lead partner in this effort. Former Deputy Director at NCAR, Scott McIntosh, joined us from the Lynker side on Monday to discuss these changes.<div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="false" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/75RsHe0wb5g" start="0"></iframe></div>

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! The final count of 105 days isn't close to their longest streak ever, but that's not a bad thing.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot 2025-09-18 112305-1758216194410.png">Through Sunday morning, an additional half an inch to an inch of rain will be possible across the Southwest!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/09/1-1758311862668.png">
