From mid August until early November, the seasons have been changing right along with the weather across the United States. 

There have been terrible storms, but also vastly changing temperatures that have brought a feeling of fall, leaving behind some of its more detrimental effects in the tropics. Traveling back a couple months, Tropical Storm Erin was expected to become the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, and preparations for potential impacts had to undergo because of its projection. Later on, Erin was shown to produce life threatening conditions along the beaches in the Bahamas.

For the Northwest and Southeast, thunderstorms and flooding followed into September. The Atlantic Coast, Great Basin Pacific, and Northern Rockies got some of the most persistent damage. 

Unseasonably hot temperatures came for the Plains and Midwest, while the East Coast had dangerous rip currents, high surf, and coastal flooding continued. These tropical disasters were risks for the Southwest/Four Corners Regions, bringing typhoon remnants across Western Alaska. Going into November, surface maps show storm systems, cold and warm fronts, as well as rain and snow in areas. These early November storms known as“Witch Storms” are on the way for the Midwest.
