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.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Maila has been recorded as the strongest cyclone in the Solomon Sea, with peak sustained winds of 115mph and gusts reaching 160mph, causing extensive damage across the Solomon Islands.

More than 35 million people from the Florida Panhandle through Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC, Delaware, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and parts of New York are under tornado watches. The most dangerous period is expected from midday through early evening, with forecasters warning the peak tornado threat in the Mid-Atlantic could occur between about 2pm and 7pm ET.

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.

"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.

Residents were warned it was too dangerous to travel. If you're sheltering at home, move to the smallest, strongest, most protected room in your house such as a bathroom or a toilet. Rooms with few or smaller windows are better, though better than those with larger windows.

If you've ever glanced at your phone's weather app to check the day's forecast or to help plan for an upcoming storm, you've probably run across a scenario where you see an outrageous forecast. It happened to me earlier this week when I noticed my app was predicting more than 13 inches of snow for the Charlotte, NC area.

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.

In November 2025, a massive storm rolled across the lower Mekong River delta, dumping multiple inches of rain onto the wide, flat river plain that covers much of Cambodia. The river rose and rose. The force of the water churned up mud from the river bottom. The muddy water flowed downstream and rushed into the many farming and fishing towns that line the Mekong's banks.

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.

LIVE RADAR: Track storms as they move through the Bay Area with Live Doppler 7 Take a look at the chart above -- we will give each storm a number with 1 being the lightest type of storm and 5 being the most severe.
