#GaleWarnings and #CoastalFloodAdvisories are in place from the Mid-Atlantic to New England as a nor’easter continues to swirl off the coast of the Northeastern United States. @NOAA’s #GOESEast (#GOES19) 🛰️ captured this imagery of the storm today as the sun rose.

A plume of moisture extending from Hurricane Simon helped fuel severe thunderstorms that fired up in the Great Plains last night.
The water vapor from the tropical cyclone will continue to enhance a heavy rainfall, flooding, and severe weather risk in the Southern Plains today.

First snowfall for Caribou, ME of the season. It is accumulating on cold car surfaces and grass. #mewx

Greetings from the abyss! During the #Okeanos 2026 Cook Islands ROV Exploration cruise, we captured beautiful video of this cusk eel. Interestingly, despite their long bodies and eel-like shape, cusk eels are not "true" eels.

Spotted on satellite: an otter eddy right off Bodega Bay!
While it sounds like a fluffy "sharknado", an otter eddy is actually a type of mesolow (small low pressure center)! Offshore winds interact with complex coastal terrain to create this cyclonic coastal eddy.

This #TimeLapseTuesday, we look back at #Isaias as it evolved from a Tropical Depression to a Tropical Storm, then made landfall in the Southern United States as a Hurricane before becoming a Post-Tropical Cyclone. @NOAA’s #GOESEast (#GOES19) 🛰️ captured imagery of Isaias’ entire journey during October 6–11.

For the 2nd day in a row, Rochester International Airport sets a new record high temperature. The high temperature was 87F today. This surpassed the previous record of 85F set back in 2015. Daily temperature records for Rochester, MN began on July 1, 1886.

The 2026 eastern North Pacific #hurricane season (to 180°W) has now generated 319 ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy), breaking the old seasonal record of 318 set in 2018. #Simon

Isaias has already soaked the DC area with 0.5 to 1.5 inches of rain, but the storm may have a second act.
After a break in the rain this afternoon, strong thunderstorms and even an isolated tornado are possible this evening, especially south of DC. But storms aren't a sure thing.
Here's what we're watching and when: capitalweather.com/isaiass-s…

Satellite Update 🛰️: The remnants of Isaias are still tracking across the region this morning, bringing 1–2 inches of rain to some spots.
The bright side? Drier air is pushing in from the west, meaning rainfall will start easing up in intensity with some notable breaks ahead.

Antarctica's ozone hole remains unusually large in 2026, reaching around 25 million km² in September.
Scientists say a strong polar vortex has kept the stratosphere exceptionally cold, accelerating ozone depletion. Researchers stress this does not halt long-term ozone recovery, but shows how variable the process remains. Map @NOAASatellites

10/10 - Hurricane #Simon is nearing Category 5 intensity off SW #Mexico. Swells will affect portions of the southwestern and west-central Mexican coast over the next few days, bringing life-threatening surf and rip currents.

In honor of National Learning and Development Month, sneak a peek at the Sep weather anomalies.
Sep 2026 brought the heat, averaging a record-shattering 69.4°F—making it the warmest Sep the contiguous U.S. has seen since records began in 1895! 🌡️ bit.ly/USClimate202609
