Philippines Hit by Deadly Landslides as Typhoon Bavi Closes in on Taiwan and China

Typhoon Bavi’s outer bands trigger deadly landslides in the southern Philippines, killing at least 15 people in Sarangani and Lanao del Sur as the storm tracks toward Taiwan and China. PAGASA says Bavi will not make landfall in the Philippines, but heavy rainfall and flooding could affect Manila and nearby areas. Evacuations are underway, and Bavi has already impacted Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, with further impacts anticipated in Taiwan, Japan, and southern China.

Strong El Niño poised to reshape California winter

Strong El Niño poised to reshape California winter

Federal forecasters say a strong El Niño is virtually certain to develop this year, with a 97% chance of a strong or very strong event by December and an 81% likelihood it’ll be very strong. For California, that means a higher chance of above‑average winter rainfall in Southern California and increased risks of flash floods and landslides, along with a greater potential for heat waves and a persistent marine heat wave as oceans continue to warm.

Maryland Under Flood Watch as Heavy Thunderstorms Loom on July 6

Baltimore area remains under a Flood Watch as slow‑moving, locally heavy thunderstorms are expected July 6, following yesterday’s storms that dumped substantial rainfall and produced strong winds in parts of the region; temperatures linger in the 80s, with a marginal risk of severe weather, and showers are forecast to develop this afternoon and continue through the week.

Arthur Brings Heavy Rain, Flash Flood Threat as Season's First Named Storm

Arthur Brings Heavy Rain, Flash Flood Threat as Season's First Named Storm

Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named storm of the season after forming off Texas, is expected to bring 5–10 inches of rain (with isolated totals up to 20 inches) from Texas across the Southeast, triggering flash flood concerns and prompting disaster declarations in parts of Texas; forecasters say rainfall duration and movement will largely drive flooding risk, even as El Niño keeps overall hurricane activity relatively subdued for the year.

Houston Weather Outlook: Rain Threat Dims After Tuesday as Coastal Tropical Storm Looms

Following heavy Tuesday showers that caused localized street flooding, Houston’s rain threat is expected to ease, even as a tropical storm may form off the Texas coast Wednesday and bring 1–3 ft surge and gusty winds to coastal areas; most of the city should see 0–1 inch of rain with isolated bullseyes up to 3 inches near the coast, and Thursday–Friday look mostly sunny with highs in the low 90s, while Saturday’s forecast remains uncertain and Sunday looks dry.

Gulf updraft could spark this season’s first tropical storm

Gulf updraft could spark this season’s first tropical storm

The National Hurricane Center says a broad low-pressure system moving from south Texas toward the northwestern Gulf of Mexico could become the season’s first tropical storm, potentially named Arthur, with marginal conditions allowing short-lived development late today or Wednesday. Regardless of formation, residents of southern/eastern Texas and parts of Louisiana and Mississippi should prepare for heavy rainfall and possible life-threatening flooding, along with gusty winds and coastal flooding along the Gulf Coast. The NHC assigns about a 60% chance of development in the next two to seven days, and the Atlantic hurricane season—which begins June 1 and is expected to be below normal (8–14 named storms, 3–6 hurricanes, 1–3 major)—remains in the monitoring phase with updates every six hours.

Texas Faces Major Flood Threat as Tropical Moisture Fuels Heavy Rain

Texas Faces Major Flood Threat as Tropical Moisture Fuels Heavy Rain

Nearly 18 million people from central Texas to central Mississippi are under flood watches as a stalled front taps tropical moisture from remnants of Cristina, setting off multiple days of heavy rain across the Texas-Gulf region. The Weather Prediction Center has issued a Level 3 out of 4 flood threat for four consecutive days, with 5–10 inches of rain possible and potential life-threatening flash floods in some areas; water rescues have already occurred in Texas and Louisiana. The system could become the Atlantic season’s first tropical depression or storm (Arthur) if it moves into the northwest Gulf, possibly triggering tropical-storm watches along the Gulf Coast; even if it stays inland, the heavy rainfall could persist through midweek, creating widespread flooding risks.

Houston Braces for Dual Flood Threats and Uncertain Heavy Rain This Week

Houston Braces for Dual Flood Threats and Uncertain Heavy Rain This Week

Space City Weather warns Houston faces a real flood risk this week from two threats: today through Tuesday a stalled front could bring 2–4 inches of rain (with isolated 6+ inch bursts), while a slow‑moving tropical disturbance arriving midweek could unleash very heavy rainfall—potentially 20 inches in some areas—though the exact heaviest spots remain uncertain. A Stage 2 flood alert remains in effect, with forecast shifts possible toward Galveston Bay or eastern areas; residents should monitor updates and be prepared for possible significant flooding, especially from Wednesday into Friday, before conditions potentially ease this weekend.

Central U.S. braces for days of heavy rain and floods threatening 88 million

Forecasters warn a multi-state bout of heavy rain and severe storms could affect over 88 million people across the Midwest and northern Plains this week, bringing up to 8 inches of rain, risks of flash flooding, large hail and possible tornadoes, with dangerous flooding threats extending from Missouri and Illinois to Tennessee and Alabama; the weekend storms already caused damage and a death in New York City as winds toppled trees and flooded streets.

Jangmi Brings Heavy Rain Across Japan From Kyushu to Kanto

Typhoon Jangmi is forecast to bring heavy rain to western and eastern Japan along the Pacific coast through Wednesday, with warnings of violent winds, storm surges, landslides and flooding. Some areas could see 200–300 mm of rain; airlines have begun canceling flights to Okinawa, and rainfall is expected to accumulate from Monday to Wednesday—with about 100 mm forecast for Okinawa and Amami through Monday, rising to roughly 300 mm in Okinawa, Amami and southern Kyushu by Tuesday, and 200–300 mm in Shikoku and Kansai by Wednesday. The system, the sixth typhoon of the season, was moving north of Okinawa at 20 km/h, with a central pressure of 975 hPa and gusts up to 162 kph.

Forecast Signals a 100% Chance of a Record-Strong El Niño This Year

Forecast Signals a 100% Chance of a Record-Strong El Niño This Year

European forecast models now indicate a 100% chance of a “super” El Niño forming by November, potentially the strongest on record. The pattern is expected to dampen Atlantic hurricane activity while bringing wetter fall and winter conditions to the southern U.S. Atlantic tropical activity is likely below average, though Eastern Pacific activity could rise; the season is forecast to have about 13 named storms and 6 hurricanes, roughly near the seasonal average. Forecasters caution that the most significant effects may not be felt until later in the season, with implications for rainfall and drought relief in the Southeast and Gulf Coast regions.
