Hurricane Rafael Intensifies, Eyes US Landfall in November

Hurricane Rafael, a rare November storm, is expected to make landfall in the southern US this weekend. Currently a tropical storm, Rafael is projected to strengthen into a Category 1 or 2 hurricane as it moves through the Caribbean, affecting Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and western Cuba with heavy rain and flooding. The storm is anticipated to weaken before reaching the US Gulf Coast, potentially impacting areas from the Florida panhandle to eastern Louisiana with rough seas and coastal flooding. Meteorologists caution that the storm's path could shift, affecting its impact on the US.

"Major Winter Storm to Unleash Snow, Rain Across Eastern U.S. and Midwest"

The US is preparing for a major storm system that is expected to bring heavy snow to northern states and intense rainfall with possible tornadoes to the southern regions. The Gulf coast and southeastern areas may experience severe thunderstorms and flooding, with up to 5 inches of rain forecasted. Northeastern and New England states could see 6-12 inches of snow, while major east coast cities are likely to face rain. Over 25 million Americans are under storm watches, and the west coast is anticipating large waves and potential beach erosion. The storm has already brought snow to New Mexico and Texas, and California is on alert for significant snowfall in the mountains, which is crucial for the state's water supply amidst a potential "snow drought."

"2023 Marks Record-Breaking Heat Across U.S. Cities and Beyond"

In 2023, numerous U.S. cities experienced their hottest year on record, with significant representation from Texas and Florida, as well as cities in the Northeast and along the Gulf Coast. December ended the year with exceptional warmth, particularly in the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes, leading to the lowest ice coverage in at least 50 years. The year's warmth contributed to historically low snowfall in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, with several cities setting records for the least snow. The combination of a strong El Niño and human-caused climate change is largely to blame for the increased temperatures, which also exacerbated the summer fire season in Canada.
