WEST - A series of atmospheric rivers have been responsible for wet, windy, and snowy weather in the northwestern U.S over the last few weeks. The next round of rain and snow is taking shape as our next river pushes in. Some areas that received the most recent rainfall picked up a few inches heading into this past weekend.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web1-1762163971054.png">Our next system is gathering moisture and will work onshore tonight, bringing back more heavy rain and snow. Here's how much we might be in for over the next few days (below). Tuesday night into Wednesday looks to be the window with the most widespread rain, which could lead to a renewed round of flooding. Parts of the northern Cascades could receive a foot or more of snow on the highest peaks!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web1-1762252603792.png">With multiple inches of rain on the way, the Weather Prediction Center is already monitoring coastal areas. Starting on Tuesday, the threat of flash flooding will return. But each day from Tuesday to Thursday could lead to flooding.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-04 042840-1762255728220.png">With such a strong trough ushering the rain onshore, it could also help organize a storm or two. Damaging winds and a brief tornado or two are possible on Wednesday, as the better ingredients line up. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-04 042949-1762255795609.png"><h2>Timing</h2>According to the Weather Prediction Center, the next "strong landfalling atmospheric river" looks to impact the coast of southwest Oregon and northern California starting Tuesday afternoon, with the heaviest rainfall happening in the evening and overnight. The peak of this atmospheric river looks to have happened by Wednesday morning across these regions.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/2025-11-04 03-38-11-1762252718102.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Be sure to join us at 50 past the hour for more details during your west regional forecast.

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.

We're well on our way to winter, but high temperatures will be soaring across the Western and Central United States to start the month of November. Upper-level ridging is shifting east into the southern Plains as we get into the midst of the work week. A few record high temperatures will continue to fall this week, including cities like Amarillo, Austin, and Denver.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-03 140603-1762203998604.png">After a roughly 30-degree temperature drop in Denver from Sunday to Monday, temperatures will rebound by Tuesday, potentially breaking another daily record this week. The forecast high is 77°, matching the record for November 4th set in 2020.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web2-1762254226987.png">Looking into the weeks ahead, another ridge is likely to continue to bring high heat across the lower 48. Specifically in areas of the desert southwest and portions of west Texas.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web1-1762254187185.png"> Get forecast details for your section of the country with our regional forecasts, which air at :10, :30, and :50 past the hour from east to west.

NORTHERN PLAINS - As we head into the end of the week, an upper-level trough north of the border will usher cooler air into the northern U.S. With a couple of fronts passing through, temperatures may drop low enough to support some snow. So it’s time to brush up on our winter terminology — early winter snowstorms are here!<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/11-04 RNC-1762216937448.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Starting on Thursday, a cold front will drop into the northern Plains. This first front will bring mostly rain to the U.S., with a few flurries possible. Once the second front moves through on Friday afternoon and evening, it should be cold enough to bring snow chances to North Dakota, Minnesota, and the Great Lakes region.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/2025-11-04 03-55-39-1762253765589.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>For now, models show only a couple of inches of snowfall, but that’s enough to start thinking about snow tires across the Upper Midwest. Since the system will move through quickly, it won’t allow for major snowfall totals in these areas.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web1-1762253519909.png">Afternoon temperatures in larger cities like Minneapolis should stay warm enough by the end of the week that any flurries that fall will likely melt fairly quickly.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web1-1762253612023.png"> For more information, be sure to join us on WeatherNation at :30 past the hour for your Central Regional Forecast.

Coastal areas will be dealing with intrusions of ocean water, known as coastal flooding, during the week ahead with the return of king tides!<h2>What is a "king tide?"</h2>When the gravitational pull of the sun and moon are both higher than normal, high and low tides become more pronounced, leading to flooding during high tide and potentially low water issues during the low tides.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-02 051621-1762088418982.png">This happens most often from the fall through the spring as the sun's gravitational pull on the earth is the strongest. Despite winter conditions in North America, the sun is actually closest to the earth in early January.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-02 051520-1762088418986.png"> King tides are most pronounced when the moon is at its closest point to the Earth in its orbit, which is known as perigee. This is happening at the same time as the full moon for both November and December, creating what's known as a supermoon. During these supermoon events, the moon will be about 14,000 miles closer to the Earth than normal!<h2><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-02 060337-1762088634156.png">November King Tides</h2>King tides will be ramping up throughout the week ahead. Note how much the tidal range grows in Charleston from now through Wednesday, increasing from about 6 feet to over 7 feet by Wednesday!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web1-1762165790353.png">Tides near Miami (Virginia Key below) will also increase this week, increasing from about 2 feet to 3 feet!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web1-1762165816978.png">Coastal flood alerts will likely be issued as we get closer to the mid-week time-frame, so be sure to check your high tide times locally and avoid areas near the coast during those times. December will also feature a round of king tides with another supermoon!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-02 054718-1762088653776.png">

How Big Did the Hail Get in Texas Saturday?

Latest forecast modules show that much of Texas could pick up some much needed rain over the next few days.

Here is a look one regional rainfall forecast through Sunday morning from <a href="http://www.baronweather.com/">Baron</a>'s BAMS forecast model.

<img class="alignnone wp-image-96562" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/09/Rainfall-forecast-through-Sunday-AM.jpg" alt="" width="707" height="398" />

It shows that areas of western and central Texas could measure more than 2 inches of rain, with isolated areas picking up more than 6 inches.

If the forecast verifies, this would be good news for the state, which has seen drought spread over the last few months. The latest drought shows that much of the state is experiencing drought, with a few areas dealing with severe, extreme and even exceptional drought.
