A surge of tropical moisture from the Gulf and Caribbean is driving a week-long rain event across the East Coast, with the heaviest totals expected in the Deep South. Forecasters warn of flash flooding risks in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, while the Northeast faces a milder impact.
An Atlantic storm is forecast to form later this week, bringing cooler, rainy conditions to Long Island, with the heaviest rain and potential flooding expected late Thursday into Friday as an east wind from the Atlantic strengthens.
Riot Fest delayed Sunday doors at Douglass Park by three hours due to ongoing rain, with gates now opening at 2 p.m. and a revised day-3 lineup still featuring Alanis Morissette, Elvis Costello, Insane Clown Posse, and Pierce The Veil. Local band Largemouth moved to 2:15 p.m. The festival urges attendees to use the official app for updates as wet weather and potential storms persist.
Baltimore will see pleasant, mostly sunny conditions Saturday before a Sunday rain system moves in, with rain showers possibly affecting Ravens tailgating and the game. A wetter pattern is expected to take hold through next Tuesday, bringing 1–3 inches of rainfall region-wide and cool highs in the 60s as winds stay coastal.
The Minnesota Weather Authority has issued an alert for Friday, predicting persistent, all-day rain that could slow commutes due to ponding and runoff and may delay outdoor activities; localized flooding is most likely in low-lying areas of far southern Minnesota. Stay updated via the KSTP app and radar.
iOS 27 adds two new Weather app views—Precipitation (rain) and Wind—accessible from the home-screen forecast by tapping dedicated icons. The update preserves the existing Conditions view and lets hourly and 10-day forecasts update instantly when you switch to Rain or Wind. Precipitation shows hourly rain chances and 10-day rain estimates, while Wind displays hourly gust speeds and future wind ranges.
New research shows rain droplets can become electrically charged as they slide across surfaces; when these charged droplets later strike a coating they discharge at a tiny point, causing localized damage that can lead to corrosion of the underlying material. Experiments across different materials reveal charging depends on the crossed surface (up to tenfold differences), suggesting a previously overlooked factor in coating deterioration and guiding the design of more durable protective coatings for cars, infrastructure, and everyday surfaces.
Rain at Fenway Park has delayed the final Red Sox–Royals game, with the start time already moved 90 minutes from 1:35 PM to 3:05 PM and the possibility of further delays as precipitation continues. Forecasters expect rain to ease later in the day, creating a window to play in the evening, as MLB aims to complete the season-ending matchup with 13 games left. The situation remains a waiting game as teams monitor radar and conditions.
Heavy rain at Stirling County forced the third ODI between Scotland and the Netherlands to be abandoned without a ball bowled, leaving the one-day series tied at 1-1 after two completed matches.
Remnants of Hurricane Marie are weakening offshore but will bring rain to Southern California on Sunday, with most areas seeing light showers (about a quarter inch or less) and higher amounts possible in mountain foothills; a 15% chance of afternoon thunderstorms and a low risk of minor flooding. A high surf advisory and dangerous rip currents will affect beaches through Tuesday, so swimmers should stay near lifeguards and avoid rocky areas.
A cold front from Alaska sweeps across Oregon and SW Washington, bringing overcast skies, showers and a sharp drop in temperatures (highs falling from the 80s to the 60s in many areas) through early September. Expect about 0.5–0.75 inches of rain Tuesday through Thursday, with isolated thunderstorms possible and a frost advisory for Lake and Klamath counties in Southern Oregon and Modoc County, California as early-morning lows dip into the 30s in parts east of the Cascades. Rain should improve air quality by tamping down wildfire smoke, though Brookings could receive heavier rain (2–3 inches) and northeast California may see gusty winds. While the rain will aid firefighting efforts, officials caution it may not end the fire season, and temperatures could rebound if the front shifts back later in the week.
Parts of southeastern Texas were deluged as Tropical Storm Edouard dumped as much as 30 inches of rain in 24 hours (with rates up to five inches per hour near Houston), triggering dangerous flash floods, stranded residents, and road closures while more than 1,100 state responders and multiple agencies worked on rescue operations.
A Nature study shows raindrops can acquire tiny electrical charges as they contact surfaces; these charges can break down protective coatings (e.g., PFOTS/Teflon coatings), exposing and corroding the metal underneath. After about 3,000 charged drops—the equivalent of a rainy day—the coating failed, while uncharged drops caused no damage. The findings suggest water’s electrical state, not just acidity, drives corrosion and could guide the design of tougher coatings for cars, bridges, and ships.
Forecasters say Hurricane Marie will not make direct landfall in California, but its outer bands may bring elevated surf, rip currents, and some rainfall along the coast, with limited travel or marine-condition impacts expected.
Max Verstappen explained his race-ending Dutch Grand Prix crash came from a damp Turn 1 after a rain shower left the track wet, with the Red Bull driver starting seventh and getting squeezed on the grass in a four-wide moment before accelerating onto a drying patch too early. He called the impact a 'decent hit' and noted it fit a weekend where Red Bull struggled, as he heads into the Italian Grand Prix with time to recover after feeling unwell.
