Stronger, bigger Hurricane Erin forecast to create dangerous surf along US coast
Additional strengthening was forecast for Monday followed by gradual weakening, but Erin was expected to remain a large, major hurricane into midweek. Advertisement Hurricane-force winds extended up to 60 miles (95 kilometers) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km). The area of strong winds is expected to grow more over the next few days. At that size, Erin will impact coastal areas even though it isn't forecast to make a direct landfall. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Dare County, North Carolina, declared an emergency and ordered an evacuation beginning Monday of Hatteras Island on the Outer Banks, the thin stretch of low-lying barrier islands that juts far into the Atlantic. Several days of heavy surf and high winds and waves could wash out parts of N.C. Highway 12 running along the barrier islands, the National Weather Service said. Erin, the year's first Atlantic hurricane, reached an exceedingly dangerous Category 5 status Saturday with 160 mph (260 kph) winds before weakening. Advertisement 'You're dealing with a major hurricane. The intensity is fluctuating. It's a dangerous hurricane in any event,' Richard Pasch of the National Hurricane Center said. Erin's outer bands pelted parts of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands with heavy rains and tropical-storm winds during the day Sunday. That knocked out power to about 147,000 customers, according to Luma Energy, a private company that oversees the transmission and distribution of power on the island. More than 20 flights were canceled due to the weather. The Coast Guard allowed all ports in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to reopen Sunday as winds and rains decreased. Rough ocean conditions were forecast for parts of the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and the Turks and Caicos. Life-threatening surf and rip currents were forecast into midweek for the Bahamas, Bermuda, the U.S. East Coast and Canada's Atlantic coast as Erin turns north and then northeast. Scientists have linked the rapid intensification of hurricanes in the Atlantic to climate change. Global warming is causing the atmosphere to hold more water vapor and is spiking ocean temperatures, and warmer waters give hurricanes fuel to unleash more rain and strengthen more quickly.

What is the Farmers' Almanac predicting for the 2025-26 winter season in New Mexico?
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – As the summer winds down and fall approaches, the Farmers' Almanac is looking ahead to winter with a new set of weather predictions for the 2025-2026 season. In its press release, issued Monday, the Farmers' Almanac summed up the winter season for much of the U.S. in three words: 'Chill, Snow, Repeat.' What should New Mexico expect? According to the Farmers' Almanac, the Southern Plains, which includes New Mexico, Texas, western Kansas, Oklahoma, and portions of Nebraska, may see a wetter-than-average winter with periodic cold snaps. The region might also experience freezing precipitation with limited snow. What the 'Old Farmer's Almanac' is predicting for fall 2025 in New Mexico What will winter be like across the country? The Farmers' Almanac predicted 'consistent cold snaps' from the Pacific Northwest to New England; frequent or periodic snowstorms in the Pacific Northwest, the Great Lakes, the Northeast, and even the Mid-Atlantic. Other predictions include blasts of very frigid weather 'from the Northern Plains to northern New England' in January and February, and possible snowstorms in North Carolina and Tennessee as late as late February/early March, Sandi Duncan, the editor of the Farmers' Almanac, told Nexstar. Bouts of snow may also be in the cards for northern Texas in December and February, according to the almanac. 'We don't think the cold and snow that some southern areas saw last year will repeat, but we do see some wild swings in the temperatures that will keep our winter [on] the 'Snow, Chill, Repeat' loop and may surprise some folks with wet snow that shows up instead of rain,' Duncan said. How accurate is the Farmers' Almanac? The Farmers' Almanac, established in 1818, develops its forecasts using a somewhat secret formula involving celestial bodies and past weather patterns. But like the Old Farmer's Almanac (a separate publication), it hasn't always been the most accurate predictor of upcoming weather events, according to researchers. A study conducted by John E. Walsh and David Allen, published in the 1981 edition of Weatherwise, showed that only 50.7% of both almanacs' historical temperature forecasts and 51.9% of their precipitation forecasts panned out correctly. 'It's more like a crapshoot of trusting something that far into the future since there are times the forecast is blown in the first 24 hours,' Rich Segal, meteorologist at Nexstar's KXAN, previously explained. Jon Gottschalck, the chief of the Operational Prediction Branch at NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, had also told Nexstar that forecasts that claim to predict specific weather events months ahead of time cannot be considered reliable. 'It's just not possible to do that,' Gottshalck said. The NOAA's Climate Prediction Center does, meanwhile, share its own long-range seasonal outlooks (e.g., forecasts for the chances of above or below-average temperatures, precipitation), although those outlooks do not attempt to predict specific weather events. The editors of the Farmers' Almanac still touted the accurate aspects of its previous winter outlook (2024-2025) in a blog post published in July. But they blamed 'La Niña' for the absence of a 'cold spell' at the end of January 2025, and less wet weather than they had originally predicted. While no forecast can claim perfect accuracy, our predictions have proven useful for generations of planners and outdoor enthusiasts,' Duncan said. 'We continuously refine our method but acknowledge that Mother Nature always has the final say.' Nexstar's Addy Bink and Alix Martichoux contributed to this report. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
