Some emerging showers and thunderstorms are possible on Saturday, mainly north of the most recently affected areas by sudden floods, but today there is no organized threat of sudden floods as tropical humidity begins to decrease. There are no flood alerts currently in force.
However, another explosion of monzonic moisture will bring a low threat (level 1 of 4) of sudden floods to parts of the southwest desert on Sunday to Monday.
Isolated downpours and thunderstorms could carry localized areas of sudden floods to parts of the southern end of California and Arizona for Sunday.
For Monday, the low flood threat changes east to New Mexico.
Any areas of burning scars will be especially prone to dangerous sudden floods that could trigger flow flows and landslides. Burned soil reduces the threshold for sudden floods, which means that even lower rainfall can cause significant sudden floods and other impacts, which develop rapidly.
In the rest of the next week, a dry and quiet climate is forecast for much of the southwest.
In recent days, heavy rains and sudden floods soaked southwest and even became mortal in one case.
US 395 closed due to floods, on this screen of a video released by the California – Mojave road patrol, on September 19, 2025.
CHP-Mojave
In Barstow, California, a 2 -year -old boy was swept after his family’s car was swept from a road and surpassed by floods. The city of Barstow announced on Friday that “after more than 20 hours of extensive search and rescue operations, emergency responders located the child’s body.”
The sudden floods occurred in other parts of the southwest when the heaviest downpours fell from 1 to 2 inches of rain in about an hour for some points, which caused some paths to wash and anything on the path of the waters of the floods that are dragged.
Gabrielle Tropical Storm
The tropical storm Gabrielle continues to turn in the central Atlantic, fighting unfavorable atmospheric conditions.
Gabrielle is slowly improving the structure on Saturday morning, but continues to deal with the shear of the wind and dry air, all the conditions in which tropical cyclones fight to survive.
The storm is expected to move to an area with less shear of wind and dry air, as well as warm water, which allows it to become a hurricane on Sunday night.
However, it will not bring any direct impact to the Earth, since it remains east of Bermuda in the early next week and, finally, it turns to the Northeast through the Atlantic of the center-norte in the middle of next week.
If he becomes a hurricane, Gabrielle would become the second Hurricane of the Hurricane Season of the Atlantic 2025. On average, the second The hurricane is formed around August 26, which makes this hurricane almost a month after what was normally expected.
Hurricane Hunter flights are scheduled to fly to Gabrielle to have a better idea of the current structure and strength of the storm.
The National Hurricane Center is also seeing a weak tropical wave located on the West Coast of Africa, since it produces some disorganized electric storms.
It has a 20% development possibilities in the next seven days, since it walks slowly through the central Atlantic. If it develops more, it would probably take the same track as Gabrielle, avoiding any direct impact for the earth.
It is forecast that tropical activity in the Atlantic slows down in the coming weeks as conditions become more favorable for development.
The Atlantic hurricanes season extends until November 30.
