Massive rain band to belt millions
A massive rain band stretching from the Australian interior all the way to the Indian Ocean is crawling towards the east coast, and is expected to bring showers to large parts of Queensland and New South Wales as it rolls its way into the Pacific Ocean. Sky News meteorologist Rob Sharpe said Sydney would be settling in for 'colder, wet weather' for the next couple of days. 'It doesn't look as wet as what we saw over that five-day stretch where most of Sydney saw more than 10mm of rain, but it does look like most of Sydney will see 50mm primarily from Friday to Monday with a series of showers,' he said. 'I'm already thinking of changing my plans (on Saturday) because of the forecast, and I'm sure many other people are as well.' Mr Sharpe said Sydney wouldn't be dealing with the wet weather in isolation, with large parts of the NSW coastline expecting 'plenty of showers through the weekend'. 'Inland parts of NSW will also get a little bit of wet weather, most likely on Friday,' Mr Sharpe said. Mr Sharpe said Queenslanders can also expect to endure a deluge, with rain 'picking up (on) Friday across the state'. Sydney's forecast for Thursday is a minimum of 11C with a max of 17C and early showers. Melbourne can expect a cool minimum of 5C and a max of 14C with a 10 per cent chance of showers. Brisbane is expecting a tidy 13C minimum with a warm max temp of 23C and a 20 per cent chance of rain. Perth will miss the rain, with a minimum temp of 7C, a max of 21C and dry conditions throughout the day. Adelaide is expecting a minimum of 7C, a max of 16C and a slight chance of rain, roughly 10 per cent. Canberra will endure a chilly low of 0C, and the day will level out with a max of 14C and dry conditions. Hobart is expecting a minimum temp of 5C and a max of 14C with a 20 per cent chance of rain.

Goodbye fall, back to summertime
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Fall-like feels are gone! Today's temperatures are 4 to 9 degrees warmer than yesterday morning, and the humidity is back to summertime levels. High temperatures will remain below average in the mid-80s, but it will feel like the low 90s due to the higher humidity. Scattered light showers will be periodic throughout the day. There were no storms yesterday, but with the higher humidity, an isolated thunderstorm is possible. Temperatures will remain slightly below average for most of the workweek. Nighttime temperatures are closer to normal in the low and mid-70s overnight, but the afternoon temperatures will be slightly below average in the mid-80s. No day this week will be perfectly dry; rain is expected to be scattered today through Thursday, and it will be rainier on Friday as an area of low pressure moves north, close to our area. We will monitor that area of low pressure, expected to form off a stalled front, for a 30% chance of tropical development. Tropical update Out in the tropics, Tropical Storm Dexter formed off the stalled front on Sunday. Dexter has winds of 40 mph and is expected to remain a weaker storm as it heads northeast into the North Atlantic and away from the continental U.S. There are two other areas of interest. A tropical wave off of Africa will be traveling across the Atlantic for the next seven-plus days. This is not something that requires our immediate attention, but just know it is out there. It is likely to be a named storm eventually, but organization will be slow and is not likely to occur this week. The next name on the list is Erin. The seven-day likelihood of development is 40%. A closer area of interest has a 50% chance of developing (the one expected to bring more rain on Friday). It is to our east-southeast and is expected to move northwest into central, coastal North Carolina on Friday. Regardless of whether it is 'tropical' or just an area of low pressure, it will bring rain to our area, primarily on Friday. The seven-day rainfall totals will be 2 to 4 inches.

After deep DOGE cuts, National Weather Service gets OK to fill up to 450 jobs
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will hire as many as 450 people to shore up the National Weather Service after deep cuts this spring raised concern about dangerous understaffing, the Trump administration confirmed Wednesday. NOAA was granted permission to fill critical positions at its weather arm, including openings for meteorologists, hydrologists and electronics technicians, Trump administration officials said. The hirings are part of an exemption to a freeze on federal hiring in place through at least Oct. 15. NOAA declined to comment further. The planned hiring was first reported by CNN. The Department of Government Efficiency has gutted NOAA and the National Weather Service, which are key for the nation's daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings, climate monitoring and more. Hundreds of NOAA forecasters and other employees have been cut, and NWS offices around the country have had a number of vacancies. The administration has also weighed ending the sharing of satellite data that is key to effective storm tracking and stopped tracking the cost of climate change-fueled weather disasters. Meteorologists and climate scientists have warned of consequences with fewer workers in positions that are crucial, especially as the hurricane season got underway. After deadly flash flooding that killed dozens of people in Texas last month, some local officials and Democrats suggested that the deep staffing cuts may have contributed to endangering lives, though others defended the agency's work. Experts cautiously applauded the exemption for hirings as positive news. 'While this new development is great news for the NWS and the American public, I would like to see that the hiring actions are actually underway,' said Louis Uccellini, former NOAA administrator for weather services and NWS director. The hirings are said to include the 'mission-critical field positions' that the agency announced it would hire for in June 'to further stabilize front line operations.' The agency did not say at the time how many roles would be filled. ___ Alexa St. John is an Associated Press climate reporter. Follow her on X: @alexa_stjohn.
