Severe Storm Threatens East Coast with Heavy Rain and Strong Winds

An intense coastal storm is set to hit the Eastern Seaboard from Florida to Maine, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and the risk of tornadoes. The storm, described as "intense" and "powerful" by the National Weather Service, will produce widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches, with locally higher amounts. Flood watches have been issued for several areas, affecting over 20 million people. Coastal areas should expect shoreline flooding and beach erosion, while inland areas may experience flooding. Strong winds, reaching up to 60 mph, could cause power outages and tree-falls.

East Coast Braces for Deluge as Two Major Storm Systems Merge

Widespread rainfall is expected along the Eastern Seaboard this weekend and into next week, as a storm system in the Gulf of Mexico tracks along or near the coast. The exact path and amount of rain are uncertain, but the system is likely to bring mostly rain as far north as New England and eastern Canada, with some areas experiencing snow. The timing of the storm indicates rain spreading across Florida on Saturday, moving northeast to soak the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic on Sunday, and bringing heavy rain to the Northeast on Monday. Colder air wrapping around the storm system may increase the chances of snow in the Appalachians, Great Lakes region, and Ontario. Despite the warm and rainy conditions, winter is just getting started, and residents of the Northeast shouldn't discount the possibility of snow yet.

Canadian Wildfire Smoke Blankets East Coast, Reaching as Far as Florida

Wildfire smoke from Canada has reached as far south as Florida, compromising air quality along the Eastern Seaboard. The smoke, which has been part of a historic and prolonged wildfire season, drifted across the region due to atmospheric steering currents. Code red and code orange air quality levels were observed in various areas, including Orlando, Jacksonville, and Palm Beach County. The smoke also affected the northeast, with hazy skies reported from New York City to Washington. The ongoing fires in Canada have burned about a million acres, and while wetter conditions have helped decrease the fire risk in the west, warmer and drier weather is expected to return.

"Growing Hurricane Lee poses uncertainty and rip current concerns in the Atlantic"

Hurricane Lee has grown significantly larger and triggered a tropical storm watch for Bermuda as it moves north. The storm, currently a Category 3 hurricane, has been increasing in size and is expected to continue growing while losing some intensity. Although its winds may not reach monster hurricane levels, a larger Hurricane Lee could impact a more widespread area, potentially affecting the Eastern Seaboard. The storm may bring tropical storm-force winds and heavy rainfall to parts of the northeastern US and Canada, causing coastal erosion, dangerous surf, and rip currents. Bermuda is likely to experience strong winds, heavy rain, and hazardous seas as Lee passes to the west.

"Franklin's Category 4 Fury Threatens Eastern Seaboard"

Hurricane Franklin remains a formidable Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 140 mph. While it is not expected to make landfall in the US, it poses a threat to the Eastern Seaboard and Bermuda. The storm is forecasted to pass west of Bermuda on Wednesday, causing life-threatening surf and rip currents along the Southeast and mid-Atlantic. Swells and dangerous surf will impact Bermuda and the southeastern US, spreading north along the US coast and Atlantic Canada. Although the storm will gradually weaken, big swells are expected to linger through the Labor Day weekend, potentially causing beach erosion.

Colorado State predicts active hurricane season despite quiet start to August

Experts at Colorado State University and AccuWeather are predicting an above-average Atlantic hurricane season, with increased chances of a major hurricane hitting the U.S. Gulf Coast or Eastern Seaboard. Despite the potential inhibitive effects of an El Niño pattern, record-breaking ocean warmth is creating favorable conditions for storm development. Water temperatures in the Atlantic are historically warm, providing untapped fuel for potential storms. While the forecast is uncertain, experts are warning coastal residents to remain vigilant as it only takes one hurricane to make it an active season.

"Summer of Smoke: Wildfires Threaten Air Quality Across North America"

Canada's fire season has just begun and with more fires burning out of control, it could be a summer of smoke. The smoke-filled skies across the Eastern Seaboard last week may be just the beginning of a new normal. As of a week ago, Canada had more people evacuated from their homes because of wildfires than ever before in a fire season. With this year’s fire season off the charts, the numbers could increase.
