Although only one gauge, Charleston, is forecast to hit Major flood stage Friday night (as far as water forecasts go out so far), Ft. Pulaski is VERY close and would rank #7 height.

The dew points are too darn high! That'll be changing, though. Low-to-mid 60s is summerlike humid tomorrow morning. Upper 20s and low 30s possible by later Thursday. Dry air sets the stage for a chilly Thurs night. More at cwg.live.

Yesterday's upgrade to the June 20th tornado in North Dakota finally notches a new entry in our list of Recent EF5s, which had stood stagnant since 2013 - which was a new record in itself. www.accuweather.com/en/severe-we...

A new EF5 tornado has been crowned, ending a 12-year drought. This one's rating was based on how far it threw a train off the tracks.

A tornado hit Sawtooth Mountain, Colorado a few weeks ago at 11,300 feet -- but it wasn't the Colorado, or U.S. record high-elevation twister. www.accuweather.com/en/severe-we...

July or October? Heat to challenge records across Midwest into the weekend

Midwesterners will be wondering if they should trade the trip to the pumpkin patch for the lake this weekend, as the mercury is forecast to soar for a few days.

If Hurricane Imelda makes landfall in Bermuda tonight, it will be the 5th hurricane to make landfall on the island in the last 7 years.

This is interesting because prior to 2014, the island went 27 years with no landfalls.
