Southwest faces more severe weather, flash flooding as Colorado Gov. declares state of emergency

October’s full moon, known as the “Hunter’s moon” is coming this weekend, but weather might make the view a hit or miss for some areas. The full moon peaks late Sunday night, or early Monday morning, for anyone in the Eastern Daylight Time Zone: EDT: 12:12 am (Monday)CDT: 11:12 pm (Sunday)MDT: 10:12 pm (Sunday)PDT, MST: 9:12 pm (Sunday)Whether or not the weather will let you see the full moon is another question. A large cold front and developing low pressure system stretching across the middle third of the country will create less than ideal viewing conditions for the Plains and Upper Midwest. The Pacific Northwest is facing a similar problem with a storm system moving in from the Pacific Ocean. A super moon but not a supermoonIf you manage to get outside to view the full moon, you might describe the experience as “super”, but it is not in fact a supermoon. A supermoon happens when the moon is full at the same time as it is at its perigee, or the point in its orbit closest to the Earth.

(Monet, "Charing Cross Bridge," 1899. (Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum))They're some of the most beautiful skies ever painted. They may also be some of the dirtiest. The dreamlike haze hanging over the canvases of J. M. W. Turner and Claude Monet has long been celebrated as a stylistic triumph. But recently, some atmospheric scientists have argued that these masterpiece skies may also reveal something more concrete: a record of the coal smoke that choked London and Paris during the Industrial Revolution. In a 2023 study published in the journal PNAS, Anna Lea Albright of Sorbonne University and Peter Huybers of Harvard University tested whether the two painters' work tracked the rise of 19th-century air pollution. They analyzed 60 oil paintings by Turner (spanning 1796 to 1850), and 38 by Monet (spanning 1864 to 1901). They measured two things: contrast, or how crisp the edges are, and intensity, or how white and bright the image appears.(Turner, "Apullia in Search of Appullus," 1814 (Tate))The physics behind the research is simple. Burning coal releases sulfur dioxide, which forms tiny sulfate particles in the air.

Well, maybe they should add one more report to check before NFL Sundays: the forecast.(MORE: Why you can't see rain during a football game broadcast)A new comprehensive study released by HeatRadar analyzes over 4,000 outdoor NFL team-games from 2014 to 2025 to quantify the true impact of wind and rain on offensive production. By measuring each team's performance in bad weather directly against its own calm, dry baseline during the same season, researchers found that both elements usually have far less effect than commonly assumed below certain thresholds, but cause sharp declines once critical tipping points are reached.

A hurricane is the farthest thing from our minds as the leaves change and temperatures drop. But the season isn’t done just yet, and even a quiet season can have a few tricks up its sleeve heading into late autumn. Here’s a look at what we might expect over the next couple of weeks as we enter the final stretch of this near-record quiet hurricane season. DON’T MISS: Autumn can still produce intense hurricanes across the AtlanticA raging El Niño in the neighbouring Pacific Ocean has kept this Atlantic hurricane season exceptionally quiet. Nine of this year’s ten named storms only achieved tropical storm intensity. Isaias, which set a record for its lateness, grew into the season’s sole hurricane before it slammed into Florida’s coastline on Oct. 9. Atlantic hurricane season officially runs through Nov. 30. Based on climatology, a little more than 90 per cent of an average hurricane season’s total activity is behind us by the weekend before Halloween. Content continues belowBut that remaining 10 per cent can pack a punch if all the right conditions align. The most likely spot for tropical formation this late in the season is the western Caribbean Sea and the southwestern Atlantic.
