A sinkhole near LaGuardia Airport’s runway 4/22 forced the immediate shutdown of the runway while emergency crews assess the cause and determine repairs. Travelers should expect delays and potential cancellations as thunderstorms are forecast; passengers are advised to check with their airlines for the latest flight status, and the FAA noted a traffic-management program that may delay some arrivals.
A chilly start with patchy frost north and west of Baltimore, followed by a sunny day near 70°F; tomorrow brings rising temps with multiple lines of rain and thunderstorms, then a cooler Thursday before a ridge builds and heat returns for a summerlike weekend into next week.
Thunderstorms in Miami forced the FIA to move the 2026 F1 Miami Grand Prix start forward by three hours, with the 57-lap race now due to begin at 13:00 local time (18:00 BST) after the weather disruption and a FIA decision.
The 2026 Miami Grand Prix will start three hours earlier, at 1pm local time (6pm UK), after forecasts of heavy rain and thunderstorms; organisers and the FIA announced the change after Saturday's qualifying to try to complete the 57-lap race before storms, with Sky Sports F1 and Main Event providing coverage and build-up from 4pm on Sunday.
The FIA has declared a 'rain hazard' for the 2026 Miami Grand Prix as forecasts warn of heavy thunderstorms, with officials considering moving the race start from 16:00 local time; under the eight-mile lightning radius rule, the event could be suspended if lightning strikes occur, and a 30-minute countdown would resume once the area is cleared.
Following qualifying for the Miami GP, the FIA will hold two meetings to decide if Sunday’s 4:00pm start should be moved due to forecasts of heavy rain and thunderstorms, with Florida lightning rules potentially forcing suspensions; safety remains the priority, and F2 and Porsche Cup schedules could be shuffled if needed while the forecast stays uncertain.
Forecasts warn of heavy thunderstorms sweeping through Miami on Sunday morning, threatening disruption to the 57-lap Miami Grand Prix with a 16:00 local start, following last year’s rain-affected sprint; practice and other sessions are expected to stay dry.
A morning cluster of storms across West-Central and Northwest Texas is shifting north of the Red River, potentially bringing very large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. The highest risk appears from North Texas into East Texas, with development likely 1–3 PM along a boundary near Texoma, then moving southeast toward the Dallas–Fort Worth area. A cluster could persist tonight, bringing heavy rainfall and localized flooding. The site will offer live Texas storm coverage and an interactive radar to track the storms.
Using a UV camera mounted on a research vehicle, scientists captured hundreds of tiny corona discharges glowing along treetops during thunderstorms, showing that nearly every leaf can glow under a storm’s electric field; each corona carries about a microamp of current and produces hydroxyl radicals that can scrub pollutants but may also damage leaves, with potential implications for forest chemistry and even storm dynamics, observed across multiple storms and tree species and reported in Geophysical Research Letters by Penn State researchers led by P. J. McFarland.
A cold front will bring thunderstorms and mountain snow to Utah, with wind advisories in effect statewide as Storm No. 2 approaches; expect windy conditions Sunday ahead of its arrival.
A hyperactive stretch of severe weather is set to hit the central U.S. this weekend, bringing damaging winds, hail and a few tornadoes across Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas over at least four days, with storms peaking Tuesday, according to Washington Post meteorologists Matthew Cappucci and Ben Noll.
A cluster of severe thunderstorms is expected across the Midwest, focusing on Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, with rotating supercells that could produce baseball-sized hail and a tornado risk; a cold front may boost hail while limiting tornadoes, and storms could merge into squall lines by evening, with isolated flooding possible.
A cold front crossing western Pennsylvania is triggering widespread severe storms, with multiple Severe Thunderstorm Warnings in effect for parts of Allegheny, Westmoreland, Beaver, Washington and Butler counties and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in place for Beaver, Butler, Armstrong, Indiana, Allegheny, Westmoreland, Washington, Fayette and Greene counties until 10 p.m. Sunday. The system could bring large hail, damaging winds, and, in some areas, isolated tornadoes, with heavy rain continuing into the evening and early overnight. Cooler air arrives Monday (highs in the 40s, lows in the 20s Tuesday). A return to sunshine and 50s is expected midweek, with another rain chance late Wednesday night into Thursday. Track storms with radar and local alerts.
A Level 4 out of 5 severe-weather risk stretches from Maryland to South Carolina, with the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas facing damaging winds, hail, and a few strong tornadoes—centered on the D.C. area—as forecasters warn of a significant outbreak on Monday.
A weather system threatens the DC area with severe storms and possible tornadoes today, followed by a sharp cooldown as colder air moves in; monitor forecasts and heed warnings.
