![]() ![]() TWIN BRIDGES, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 30: A chairlift at Sierra-at Tahoe ski resort sits idle as the Caldor Fire moves through the area on Augin Twin Bridges, California. New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she could not guarantee responders could rescue people that may be stuck in their cars “if it starts floating away like a boat on a river.” We’re seeing a kind of rainfall – we almost never see this kind of speed with which the rain has come,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said, urgently calling on everyone to stay at home. Meteorologists – who knew storms and floods were on their way, even roughly how much rain would fall – were also surprised at the storm’s pace. Officials in New York appeared totally caught off guard by the floods. These are the kinds of scenes that scientists say the world will see more of because of human-caused climate change. The neighboring city of Newark, New Jersey, saw the heaviest single day of rain on record. Ida dumped heavy amounts of rain on Central Park and the subway was inundated with fast-moving floods, knocking nearly the whole system out of operation.

Separate risk maps for those hazards are available only for the present day and tomorrow. The map labeled “severe storms” combines risks for hail, high winds and tornadoes. In some cases the Weather Service’s narrower categories are considered for written descriptions. The risk level may be adjusted upwards when the Weather Service predicts a higher likelihood of larger tornadoes or hail. Specifically, the yellow level (representing lower risk) includes the Weather Service categories for “marginal” and “slight” risk of severe storms and excessive rainfall the orange level (medium risk) includes the category for “enhanced” risk of severe storms and “moderate” risk of excessive rainfall and the red level (higher risk) includes the categories for “moderate” risk of severe storms and “high” risk of severe storms and excessive rainfall. Some of these categories have been combined to create a clear, consistent language across multiple weather hazards. The risk levels shown are derived from categories used in the outlooks issued by the National Weather Service, including those for severe weather from the Storm Prediction Center and excessive rainfall from the Weather Prediction Center. You can pick places to track, but we won’t start sending weather risk emails for another week or two. This tracker is currently under development. This service does not provide alerts about immediate threats or danger you can get those by monitoring local weather reports, listening to a weather radio or having National Weather Service alerts delivered to your mobile phone. Risk outlooks may change throughout the day, sometimes after we have sent you an email, though this page will contain updated information. ![]() Our hope is that the emails are useful for your planning and awareness. We aim to send one email per day on days when risks are forecast for one or more of your places. ![]()
