"The saturated ground has reduced ability to absorb further rainfall. Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas."

After 21 hours of talks, US and Iran did not reach a deal to end the war, as Vice President JD Vance said talks stalled after the US made a final offer pushing for stronger guarantees that Iran won't develop nuclear weapons.

Cyclone Vaianu is forecast to bring heavy rain and winds of up to 130 km/h, with authorities warning of potential coastal flooding and landslides.

"We just have not kept up with water supply and water infrastructure like we should have. And it's decades in the making," said Peter Zanoni, the city manager since 2019.

Corpus Christi's two main reservoirs are just 8.4 percent full, while the backup reservoir is 55 percent full. Without drastic cuts, the water supply could run dry by early next year.

Parts of the Arabian Peninsula and Persian Gulf could be slammed by strong to severe thunderstorms Thursday, bringing the potential for damaging winds, destructive hail and a few tornadoes.

The storm from Sunday into Monday has the potential to become a bomb cyclone, which occurs when central pressure drops at least 0.71 inches of mercury (24 millibars) in 24 hours or less. That rapid strengthening would generate an expansive and intense wind field.

Flash flooding has been a major problem in recent days in places such as Maui, Molokai and the Big Island, where rain had been falling between 1 and 2in (2.5 and 5cm) an hour overnight, according to the Hawaii emergency management agency.

AccuWeather forecasters have labeled the system a 'triple-threat March megastorm,' as a volatile mix of powerful winds, heavy snow, rain and plunging temperatures spreads across a vast portion of the country. The storm is expected to hammer the Midwest and Great Lakes with heavy snow and whiteout conditions, while unleashing damaging wind gusts across much of the central and eastern US.

"These improvements empower communities to prepare earlier and more effectively for dangerous hazards from tropical storms and hurricanes," said Michael Brennan, director of NOAA's National Hurricane Center.

Flash flooding is a real risk and can occur quickly, without much warning. We urge people to steer clear of floodwaters and never drive through a flooded road regardless of how safe you think it may be.

As the Class of 2026 prepares to enter the workforce this summer, they-like last year's graduates and those already in the job market-are facing what economists now call a "low hire, low fire" economy. Whether this is driven by AI or other economic factors remains hotly debated, but the causes are beside the point for new grads looking for jobs postgraduation in an economy marked by a pullback in early-career hiring.

In Grazalema, Spain's wettest town, a year's-worth of rain fell in a fortnight and overloaded the karst aquifer beneath it. Water rushed into homes through floors, walls and even electricity sockets. Authorities ordered everyone to evacuate. I felt a lot of fear, said Sanchez Barea, a guesthouse owner whose home is one of hundreds still in an exclusion zone.

We're not expecting much in terms of winds, mainly just going to be flood potential. And thinking that the focus is going to be Oahu, Maui County and Big Island, with Kauai kind of being on the fringes of it versus, you know, all the Islands were impacted last time.

Californians looking to resume their weekly commute Tuesday awoke to see several major roads closed after heavy rains drenched much the state Monday - with the expected precipitation far from over. Among the closures was a section of Highway 1 through Big Sur, which state officials just weeks ago celebrated reopening for the first time in three years. The road closed Monday after rockslides left "debris in the roadway at multiple locations," according to the California Department of Transportation.

Showers moving into the region from the Central Coast should bring steady rain to Ventura and Los Angeles counties Thursday morning, with frosty temperatures pushing snow levels lower than normal, potentially impacting commuters along the Grapevine, according to the National Weather Service. "Steady precipitation will taper off to showers by late this afternoon and become confined to the mountains by late tonight," the weather service posted in a Thursday morning forecast.

Beaches, mangroves, fish, turtles and manatees. Little by little, oil has coated them all. About two weeks have been enough for the sticky black residue to permeate everything in its path. Its advance has been met with an outcry. Since the first fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico reported the discovery of chapapote (petroleum residue) in their nets on March 2, the progression has been documented by the affected communities.

Extreme winds ripping across the US could bring hurricane levels of destruction and impact thousands of air travelers flying across the country. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued high wind warnings throughout more than 10 states in the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains, and Southwest throughout Tuesday. Wind gusts are expected to reach hurricane strength in parts of Colorado, Montana, Texas, New Mexico, and Wyoming, exceeding 75mph.

A deep area of low pressure to the south-east of New Zealand's North Island swept into the region on Sunday, bringing heavy rain, gale-force winds and dangerous coastal swells that lashed exposed shorelines. The storm triggered power outages, forced evacuations and damaged infrastructure, with further impacts likely on Monday as the system lingers for a time, before tracking southwards later.

As of Monday morning, more than 50,000 Mississippians and 28,000 Tennesseans remained out of power, per PowerOutage.us. Power in Nashville - where nearly half the city lost electricity after about half an inch of ice on Jan. 25 - is expected to be fully restored by Feb. 9, the Nashville Electric Service said Sunday. The North East Mississippi Electric Power Association, which has 10,700 outages, did not provide a restoration timeline.

A powerful storm system arrives Sunday with heavy rain, thunderstorms and dangerous waves, posing threats of flooding and debris flows through early next week. The strongest impacts hit late Sunday through Monday, with 1-2 inches of rain expected in valleys and coasts, twice as much in mountains. High-surf advisory expected Monday through Thursday, with waves exceeding 10 feet across all Southern California beaches and a 20-30% chance of damaging sets midweek.

Sade Hogue was five months pregnant with her second daughter when her home lost power during a deadly 2021 winter storm that left millions of Texans without power or heat for days. Hogue and her family went to stay with relatives who still had electricity. Then, a few days later, they also lost power. "Not only are you worried about you, but you're worried about the unborn child because you don't know what the effects of this freeze is doing to the child as well,"
