Soggy New York to Get More Rain After a Month of Dreary Weather

A weekend storm is expected to bring one last dose of rainfall to an already waterlogged New York after a month of above-average precipitation.
Persistent low-pressure systems have been funneling moisture into the southern half of the state, fueling round after round of storms. As of May 29, rainfall totals were up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) above normal from the Albany area south through the Catskill Mountains and into New York City, said Bryan Jackson, a meteorologist at the US Weather Prediction Center.

'Our city will never look the same': Beltrami County declares emergency after devastating storm

'Our city will never look the same': Beltrami County declares emergency after devastating storm originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Beltrami County officials have declared a state of emergency following the ferocious winds and possible tornadoes that ripped through the area early Saturday morning. The declaration allows for an expedited disaster response as Bemidji and neighboring communities clean up and recover from the damage. Residents in the county were blasted by hurricane-force winds — including a 106 mph gust at the Bemidji Airport — in the middle of the night. Sunrise revealed thousands of downed trees and power lines, along with structural damage to homes and buildings. No injuries were reported. 'While I am happy no one was hurt, I'm sad our city will never look the same," said Christopher Muller, director of Beltrami County Emergency Management. "As of Saturday evening, several thousand customers remain without power. Due to incredible damage to infrastructure, it may take several days for restoration for all those affected. Crews have called in mutual aid from other companies to assist in recovery efforts," county officials said. The American Red Cross has opened a shelter in Bemidji at the Sanford Center, which was already assisting more than 60 people as of Saturday evening. The National Weather Service in Grand Forks hasn't yet determined if tornadoes caused damage in Beltrami County, but damage assessments conducted in Enderlin, North Dakota — where three people were killed — confirmed a large, violent tornado with an estimated EF-3+ intensity. The EF-scale classifies tornadoes by estimated wind speeds and damage indicators. EF-0: 65-85 mph, minor damage EF-1: 86-110 mph, moderate damage EF-2: 111-135 mph, significant damage EF-3: 136-165 mph, severe damage EF-4: 166-200 mph, devastating damage EF-5: 200+ mph, incredible damage "Tough times like this can shine a light on how much good we have in our community, and how fortunate we are to have people come from other communities and agencies to help us get through this challenging time," said Craig Gaasvig, Beltrami County board chair. This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 22, 2025, where it first appeared.

Extreme heat warning takes effect in NYC, 100-degree temps expected

An extreme heat warning is now in effect in New York City, with temperatures expected to top 100 degrees in the days ahead. The National Weather Service has called an extreme heat warning across the five boroughs, starting early Sunday — just two days after the first day of summer — and lasting until at least 8 p.m. Tuesday. The forecast predicts 'dangerously hot conditions with heat index values up to 107 expected,' with the worst of the heat hitting in the afternoon Monday and Tuesday. Central Park last had a 100-degree day on July 18, 2012, and hasn't seen a triple-digit temperature in June since 1952. 'Extreme heat and humidity will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities,' the warning reads. The heat wave can be blamed on 'a strong bubble of high pressure,' or a 'heat dome,' expected to envelop much of the eastern U.S., according to the Weather Channel. That bubble prevents clouds from forming, meaning no rain, intense sunshine and wretched humidity. The city is making cooling centers available and their locations — along with tips to handle the heat — can be found at The city Parks Department's 'Cool It! NYC' web page also offers a map of swimming pools, spray showers, drinking fountains and shady spots. _____
