El Niño Winter Brings U.S. Flooding and Power Risks

El Niño Winter Brings U.S. Flooding and Power Risks

The ongoing El Niño weather pattern is expected to significantly impact the United States this winter, with varying effects across regions. According to NOAA, El Niño typically shifts the Pacific jet stream, leading to wetter and cooler conditions in the southern U.S., while the northern states may experience milder and drier weather. California and the Southwest are likely to see increased rainfall and mountain snowfall, while the Gulf Coast and Southeast could face severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. These weather changes are attributed to warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, which alter atmospheric circulation and storm tracks. The 2026-2027 winter is predicted to be a strong El Niño season, with a high likelihood of extreme weather events, including heavy rain, flooding, and power outages.

Hills Snyder's 'Strays' Exhibition Opens at Amarillo Museum of Art, Showcasing Five Decades of Work

The Amarillo Museum of Art (AMoA) is currently hosting 'Hills Snyder: Strays (1973-2026),' an exhibition featuring 33 works spanning over 50 years from the San Antonio-based artist. The collection, described by Snyder as 'one-off works' born from 'fugitive circumstance or perhaps made in response to random stimuli,' offers a diverse look into his artistic journey. Visitors are greeted by a headless Buddha statue, a permanent AMoA feature, before entering the gallery. Inside, notable pieces include 'Drawn and Quartered' (1989), a stark acrylic-on-wood painting of Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man with a 3D arrow, and 'Monochrome' (2020-2024), a Confederate flag stripped of color through a chemical process. The exhibition also features a suite of three indescribable wall sculptures from 1973—'Ray,' 'A Night in the Life of a Window,' and 'Antechamber'—which challenge conventional interpretation. Snyder's work often blends visual art with linguistic elements, prompting viewers to engage with the limits of lang...

Deep South Swelters While Southwest Faces Flood Risk

Deep South Swelters While Southwest Faces Flood Risk

The weather across the United States on Wednesday presents a stark contrast between regions. The Deep South, including Texas and Louisiana, continues to experience extreme heat, with temperatures feeling like 100°F (37.8°C) or higher in cities like Houston. Meanwhile, the Southwest, particularly New Mexico, faces heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding. Fall-like temperatures are arriving in northern areas such as New York and Vermont, where highs are expected in the 60s°F (15.6–20°C). According to the National Weather Service, nearly 13 million people faced major to extreme HeatRisk on Tuesday, and this number is expected to rise slightly today. However, the number of people experiencing major HeatRisk is forecast to drop from 50 million to 44 million.

Super El Niño to Reshape US Winter 2026–2027

Super El Niño to Reshape US Winter 2026–2027

A historic Super El Niño is expected to peak during late fall and winter 2026–2027, with NOAA estimating a 75% chance of record-breaking strength since 1950. This phenomenon, characterized by unusually warm Pacific Ocean waters, is anticipated to significantly alter the jet stream, shifting storm tracks and temperature patterns across the United States. The Pacific Northwest and northern Plains are likely to experience warmer, drier conditions, while the South and Southwest may see increased storms, heavy rain, and potential wintry weather. The Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions could also trend warmer and drier, though lake-effect snow remains possible. NOAA's forecast highlights above-normal temperatures for much of the northern US and wetter conditions in the southern regions, emphasizing the variability and unpredictability of individual storm events.
