Weather Across America

TITLE
Two Dissolved Storms: Alaska's Bering Monster and Texas Record Rain | Notable Weather
DESCRIPTION
Two former tropical cyclones are still driving the weather. In the Bering Sea, the remnants of ex-Typhoon Champi send storm-force wind and 37-foot seas through the Aleutians — gusts to 75 mph at Adak and Atka — while the Anchorage hillsides gust 60 to 75 mph and the Susitna Valley picks up 7 to 15 inches of snow. Off Mexico, Post-Tropical Cyclone Vance feeds two-inch precipitable water into Texas, where Del Rio sets a daily rainfall record of 4.25 inches, more than four times its 1907 mark, and a flood watch covers the Rio Grande plains. A ridge over the middle of the country keeps the East at record warmth — Rochester ties 1896 at 76 degrees — while Portland gets its first freeze watch, the Sierra gets its first real snow, and the Florida Keys flood from the ocean instead of the sky.

Weather Across America — October 30, 2026: Vance's Remnants Drench Texas, Storms in Arizona, Snow Out West
DESCRIPTION
Your daily coast-to-coast weather briefing for Friday, October 30, 2026.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Vance are spinning off Mexico's west coast, and that moisture is streaming north into Texas. The Weather Prediction Center has a slight risk of excessive rainfall from southeast New Mexico into west-central Texas, with several inches possible. The Storm Prediction Center has a marginal risk of severe storms across Arizona today, where isolated wind gusts and hail are possible. Meanwhile, the Pacific Northwest mountains are picking up over a foot of snow above 9,000 feet, and rain and mountain snow spread across the West this weekend.
We also go city by city — New York, Boston, Washington, Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Anchorage and Honolulu — with temperatures in Fahrenheit and barometric pressure in inches of mercury.
Plus: Shabbat times and zmanim for Chicago and Jerusalem according to the Gra, and safety reminders for flooding and mountain travel.
Weather Across America is a family-friendly daily briefing. New episodes each morning.

Autumn is telling two very different stories across America. East of the Rockies, a stubborn ridge keeps the Midwest feeling like late September, with St. Louis reaching the lower eighties by Thursday. Out West, mountain snow returns to the Cascades, an atmospheric river aims at Alaska as Typhoon Champi's remnants head for the Bering Sea, and a flood watch begins in Hawaii.

In this episode:
- The upper-air map: ridges, troughs and 500-millibar heights
- Lake Erie high pressure near 30.40 inches of mercury, and the fronts stalling over Illinois
- 7-day forecasts for Chicago and St. Louis, including Halloween, with confidence levels
- Around the Midwest: Milwaukee, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Detroit
- Storm Prediction Center three-day outlook and "the cap"
- Northwest snow setup, Southern California's onshore flow (not Santa Anas)
- Alaska's atmospheric river and Champi's remnants; Hawaii's flood threat
- National Hurricane Center: Atlantic and eastern Pacific
- The Bermuda High, heat domes, Brownsville, Phoenix dew points, Orlando and New York travel weather
- Chicago-area zmanim and family activities

Based on National Weather Service forecast discussions, the Storm Prediction Center, the Weather Prediction Center and the National Hurricane Center, issued October 26, 2026. This is an independent forecast summary, not an official warning broadcast. Always follow your local National Weather Service office for warnings.

How does a 15-year-old build a weather channel that reaches viewers across the country?

On this special interview edition of Weather Across America, Simcha Lefton talks with Vito Kramer, the creator of ProudToChase. Vito shares how Hurricane Milton sparked his interest in weather, why thunderstorms and lightning fascinate him, and what it takes to cover severe weather live for a national audience.

The conversation covers learning meteorology, growing a channel, getting warnings to people through social media, tornado safety, winter-weather coverage, faith and service, and where ProudToChase is headed next.

This is the final edited, full-length audio interview (about 43 minutes 50 seconds).

Two seasons on one map. A deep October low over the Southwest has been pulling tropical moisture north for two days: Albuquerque's Thursday balloon measured 1.08 inches of water vapor in the column, a record for the date, and rivers across Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah are rising. The San Juan at Shiprock is forecast to crest near 17.3 feet against a 15.5-foot flood stage, and the Animas at Farmington should top out at 11 feet, matching its May 1941 crest. Tucson's forecast office called it a rare October severe setup — rotating supercells, golf-ball hail at Hurley, New Mexico, and a 73 mph gust near Safford, Arizona.
Southern California got the other half of the same storm, with daily rain records at Big Bear, Riverside and Escondido, plus two mountain towns logging their coolest October 22 daytime highs on record.
East of the Rockies it is a different season. A 590-decameter ridge over Texas is holding a summer pattern in place: Rapid City tied 1915 at 81 degrees, Baker, Montana beat a 2003 record at 77, and Friday runs warmer still before a cold front arrives with 55 mph gusts and takes Rapid City from the low 80s into the 40s and 50s.
On the East Coast, high pressure over Ontario is steering the year's highest astronomical tides — the peak King Tide at Miami Sunday into Monday, 6.9 feet at Charleston Harbor and 8.9 at Fort Pulaski — right on top of onshore flow. Alaska is on its second Bering Sea storm in a week, with 75 mph gusts on the Kuskokwim Delta and a blizzard warning for eastern Norton Sound. And in the Pacific, the Hurricane Center is tracking a low near the date line while Tropical Storm Vance is forecast to become a major hurricane off Mexico.
Notable Weather is a short briefing on the weather that makes news — records, extremes, and the pattern that connects them — built from National Weather Service area forecast discussions, hydrologic outlooks and record event reports, and the National Hurricane Center. Runtime 6:58.

Title: Chicago Weather Discussion: Dense Lake Fog & Warm Weekend Outlook 🌤️
Description: Here is the forecast breakdown from the National Weather Service office in Chicago/Romeoville, IL.
Key Takeaways & Highlights:

• Dense Fog Warning: Morning fog is developing within 25 miles of Lake Michigan, with the highest probabilities across the northern Chicago suburbs before burning off by mid-morning.
• Unseasonably Mild Weekend: Expect dry and warm weather to hold steady across the Chicago metro through the weekend.
• Lake Breeze & Fog Outlook: A weak surface high tracking over the Great Lakes will bring subtle easterly breezes inland Thursday and Friday, potentially increasing fog coverage on Friday and Saturday mornings.
• Pattern Breakdown Next Week: The long-standing upper-level omega block is projected to break down early next week, bringing potential cold frontal passages and chances for rain.
• Aviation Summary: Patchy early morning visibility reductions at O'Hare (ORD) and DuPage (DPA) dissipate quickly after sunrise, leaving VFR conditions for the remainder of the TAF period.

Ever wonder why your forecast is stuck on repeat? Learn how an "Omega block" jet stream pattern creates a high-pressure bubble, trapping weather and diverting storms, leading to days of identical conditions.
