DROUGHT WORSENS: Nearly 78% of Ohio is in at least a moderate drought. Find out when we could get some rain...

The drought continues to worsen across Northeast Ohio. The U.S. Drought Monitor is a map released every Thursday (with data from Tuesday to Tuesday). It tracks drought across the U.S. Using five classifications:

• Abnormally dry (D0), which shows areas that may be going into or are coming out of drought
• Moderate Drought (D1)
• Severe Drought (D2)
• Extreme Drought (D3)
• Exceptional Drought (D4)

The weekly update to the United States Drought Monitor was issued on Thursday morning. Once again, a worsening drought continues to spread across our viewing area, Ohio, and the region. Compare the map released last week (Sept. 3) to this week (Sept. 10) below. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, soil moisture in the southern and eastern Midwest is beginning to show signs of deeper-level drying, with no precipitation to provide relief.

The most noticeable change from last week to this week is the increase of moderate drought in our viewing area. Some 78% of Ohio is in at least a moderate drought, including several communities along and south of U.S. 30. Meanwhile, 42% of the state is now in severe drought, and nearly a quarter of the state is in extreme drought.

On the flip side, Lake County, much of Ashtabula, Geauga, and Summit counties are the only communities still not experiencing any drought. But that will likely change by next week.

The worsening drought is not a surprise. Northeast Ohio received solid rainfall totals last Friday but has been bone-dry since then. We need good soaking rains to help combat drought. Drought typically breeds more drought and can lead to a vicious cycle. This nasty cycle looks to continue for at least another week.

The next SLIM shot at rain holds off until the middle of next week. I will be honest, this rain chance is not high. There will likely be a coastal low pressure that rides along the East Coast of the United States. At this time, rainfall totals will be less than 0.25 inches as noted in the graphic below. Keep in mind, that this image shows rainfall totals for the next week, and it is very low for Ohio. The Power of 5 Weather Team will keep a close eye on this next system and update you about any changes we note over the next week.

Maps show Tropical Storm Francine's path and forecast after making landfall in Louisiana

By Emily Mae Czachor

Updated on: September 11, 2024 / 11:28 PM EDT / CBS News

Francine made landfall Wednesday evening along the Louisiana coastline as a Category 2 hurricane, threatening some communities still recovering from a particularly destructive hurricane season four years ago. President Biden has authorized an emergency declaration for Louisiana to support the state's response to the storm, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced.

The storm made landfall in Terrebonne Parish, about 30 miles south-southwest of Morgan City, a little before 6 p.m. Eastern Time Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center said. It then quickly weakened to a tropical storm by late Wednesday night.

Prior to making landfall, the storm's intensification in the Gulf of Mexico triggered new hazardous weather alerts as far as the Florida border, although forecasters warned that consequences would mainly impact Louisiana, where "life-threatening storm surge and hurricane conditions" were being felt along the coast Wednesday.

The storm is expected to continue weakening as it travels inland. As of 11 p.m. ET Wednesday, Francine's center was about 35 miles northwest of New Orleans, the hurricane center said. It was moving northeast at 16 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph.  

Although the storm meandered earlier in the week, Francine had steadily picked up speed since Tuesday and started to turn toward the U.S. Gulf shoreline. 

Several hurricane watches and warnings were discontinued. A tropical storm warning remained in place from Intracoastal City, Louisiana, to the Alabama/Florida border, which included the New Orleans metro area and Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain.

Hurricane and tropical storm  warnings are activated when conditions typically associated with those weather events are imminent. Watches are different from warnings, which the hurricane center will issue for areas where severe weather conditions could possibly arrive within a couple of days. 

Francine was forecast to bring heavy rainfall and possible flash flooding to parts of eastern Louisiana, Mississippi, southern Alabama and the western Florida Panhandle through Thursday.

The hurricane center earlier reported that "damaging and life-threatening hurricane-force winds" were forecast for portions of southern Louisiana Wednesday, and there was also the "danger of life-threatening storm surge for the Louisiana and Mississippi coastlines."

Storm surge warnings were in effect for the Louisiana coast from Avery Island east to the Mississippi-Alabama border and included Vermilion Bay, Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain. 

If peak storm surge and high tide happen together, water levels from Burns Point to Port Fourchon, Louisiana, could rise between 5 and 10 feet above ground levels, the hurricane center said. Levels could reach 4 to 7 feet from Port Fourchon to the mouth of the Mississippi River, and 3 to 5 feet from Cameron to Intracoastal City near Vermilion Bay. Places along the Gulf coast from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the border of Alabama and Florida could see storm surges between 2 and 4 feet, according to the forecasts.

A storm surge watch means there is a possibility of life-threatening inundation in the watch area within 48 hours, and a warning means it could happen sooner.

Francine was also expected to dump 4 to 8 inches of rain on southeastern Louisiana, Mississippi, far southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle through Thursday night, forecasters said, adding that up to a foot of rainfall could accumulate in certain areas. There was a risk of "considerable" flash flooding and urban flooding because of that, especially if storm surge linked to Francine compounds the tide to inundate coastal places.

Flooding risks were highest for large sections of southeastern Louisiana, including New Orleans and the rest of the delta, and a strip of southwestern Mississippi, including the vast majority of the coast.

Forecasters said a few tornadoes could also materialize Wednesday and Wednesday night, possibly in parts of southeastern Louisiana, southern Mississippi, southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

Davis fire live updates: 3 WCSD schools in south Reno to remain closed Friday

For the latest Davis Fire updates for Friday, Sept. 13, click here .

The Davis Fire south of Reno continued to burn into its sixth day Thursday. The fire, which was first reported Saturday afternoon, has consumed an estimated 5,824 acres and was at 37% containment, according to information released by authorities on Wednesday evening. Much of the containment line was on the fire's southeast side near Little Washoe Lake.

Thursday's weather forecast for the area calls for calm winds and cooler temperatures, with a high of 74, a significant improvement over Wednesday's gusty conditions.

3 south Reno schools to remain closed on Friday

Three schools will remain closed on Friday due to the Davis Fire: Galena High School, Marce Herz Middle School, and Hunsberger Elementary School.

Ten schools in south Reno were closed on Thursday and the district closed all schools on Wednesday when the fire was predicted to grow worse. However, firefighters made progress in keeping the fire contained and the worst-case scenario of 3 to 7 miles of growth did not materialize.

The Washoe County School District says is is continuing to work with public safety officials who are monitoring the movement of the Davis Fire.

TMWA: South Reno residents may resume outdoor watering

 As conditions related to the Davis Fire have improved, Truckee Meadows Water Authority has lifted its request to refrain from outdoor watering in southwest Reno.

Residents are encouraged to resume normal watering schedules, TMWA said in a news release.

The temporary restrictions were put in place Wednesday to ensure water availability for firefighting efforts in the event of power disruptions.

Evacuation warning lifted for area north of Arrowcreek

Authorities have lifted the evacuation warning for Reno neighborhoods north of ArrowCreek Country Club.

The announcement came shortly after noon on Thursday. The evacuation orders had been in place since Wednesday morning for the area between the golf course and McCarran Boulevard, roughly west of Kietzke Lane and Thomas Creek Lane.

The evacuation warning continues for the area between Arrowcreek Parkway and I-580 west of South Virginia Street, and for northern Washoe Valley east of I-580. Areas west of I-580 and along Mt. Rose Highway remain under evacuation mandates.

Containment lines hold Davis Fire through Thursday morning

The Davis Fire is locked down this morning as majority of the containment lines were maintained through the evening and overnight, according to an update from John Cervantes, Southwest Operations Section Chief.

The fire has burned 5,796 acres and is still 37% contained. Firefighters said the fire's edges have not shifted much, despite the fear of high winds coming in from the southwest on Wednesday evening. Aircraft is back in the sky this morning to help fight the fire, due to the calmer winds .

"We had no perimeter growth whatsoever in the past 24 hours," Cervantes said.

Some evacuees in the southern community have made it back to their homes, but the fire still hits strong in the southern portion. They are hoping to get more containment in the Davis Creek area where the fire originated. The forest service also expects "low to moderate fire behavior" throughout the day.

However, authorities warn people to adhere to the evacuation zones, and get ready to go if you are in an evacuation warning zone.

"Don't wait until it's right down the street," Sheriff Darin Balaam said in the press conference Wednesday evening.

A southern Nevada strike team also joined the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection team and will start this morning to help the fight. The team includes 34 additional personnel.

Much lighter winds forecast for Davis Fire area on Thursday

After multiple red flag warning days, the National Weather Service is forecasting calmer winds for the Davis Fire area on Thursday.

The NWS is projecting lighter 5 mph winds from Thursday through Saturday evening, a big improvement to yesterday’s weather situation that saw winds gusting past 60 mph at some locations.

Add higher humidity to the weather mix and “today should have more good news than bad,” said NWS meteorologist Mark Deutschendorf when reached Thursday morning.

The NWS is also forecasting a chance of rain starting on Sunday with “a pretty decent chance of rain on Monday,” Deutschendorf said.

WCSD closes 10 schools on Thursday

The Washoe County School District announced Wednesday night it will keep 10 schools in south Reno and Incline Village closed Thursday due to the Davis Fire.  

The district said it will continue to work with public safety officials to determine what is safe for students and staff.

Schools closed on Thursday, Sept. 12 include

• Galena High School
• Marce Herz Middle School
• Picollo School
• Huffaker Elementary
• Hunsberger Elementary
• Lenz Elementary
• Pleasant Valley Elementary   
• Incline High School
• Incline Middle School
• Incline Elementary School

All other schools will be in session. 

Just under 2,400 customers still without power from Davis Fire

NV Energy confirmed that just under 2,400 customers still don’t have electricity as of Wednesday afternoon, officials said.

The outages were  located in five neighborhoods west of Thomas Creek Road  on Mount Rose Highway — areas that are also designated as evacuation zones.

“The reason why the power is out in those areas is because we are committed to the safety of the first responders that are working in that area,” Jesse Murray, vice president of electric delivery and natural disaster protection, for NV Energy.

“(We) also wanted to make sure that we are not contributing to any potential additional secondary fires that could cause this situation to be even worse.”

NV Energy confirmed that it has repaired 19 power lines that were damaged yesterday. The power company, however, expects to have damaged equipment in two areas where the fire is most active and is currently inaccessible to its crews.

Davis Fire news conference: Fire lines holding; worst-case prediction not coming true

While fire officials said the threat from the Davis Fire is not over, so far the dire predictions from Tuesday have not come true.

“We have some time to get through before we can sit down and rest,” Stewart Turner, a fire behavior analyst, said.

Turner was one of multiple officials speaking during a press conference with Gov. Joe Lombardo on Wednesday at South Valleys Library.

On Tuesday, Turner said that fire modeling showed the fire could advance 3 to 7 miles amid wind gusts that could hit 70 mph. The biggest threat of winds spreading the fire was expected to peak at 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Fire officials said fire lines held on Wednesday, with containment at 37%. On Tuesday, the fire was 31% contained.

Southwest Operations Section Chief Jason Clawson said he hoped to further increase containment by the end of the day.

“Feeling very good about being prepared,” Clawson said.

Starting Thursday morning, firefighters will be able to use flight support to contain the fire as the winds die down, Clawson said.

“This evening, we still anticipate the winds dying off through the night,” Turner said. “It’s going to be very different fire behavior over the next 24 hours.”

“We still are in some danger until this evening.”

Turner said it will be a “big win” if the distance of fire damage doesn’t materialize.

Turner credited the efforts of firefighters for the improved outlook. 

Davis Fire size as of 5:30 p.m. Wednesday

• Location:  1 mile south of Reno; Washoe Valley
• Size:  5,646 acres
• Containment:  37%
• Cause:  Undetermined
• Total Personnel:  620 personnel
• Start Date:  Sept. 7

Tracking Tropical Storm Bebinca

By Matthew Bloch ,  William B. Davis ,  Madison Dong ,  Judson Jones ,  John Keefe and Bea Malsky

Bebinca was a tropical storm in the Philippine Sea early Saturday China Standard Time, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center said in its latest advisory .

The tropical storm had sustained wind speeds of 52 miles per hour.

Where will it rain?

Flash flooding can occur well inland and away from the storm’s center. Even weaker storms can produce excessive rainfall that can flood low-lying areas.

What does the storm look like from above?

Satellite imagery can help determine the strength, size and cohesion of a storm. The stronger a storm becomes, the more likely an eye will form in the center. When the eye looks symmetrical, that often means the storm is not encountering anything to weaken it.

Typhoon season is year-round; however, most typhoons form from early July through mid-December.

Most typhoons scrape or strike places like the Philippines, Japan and Taiwan; they can also hit the Korean Peninsula, China and Vietnam, bringing damaging winds and storm surges.

Typhoons have also hit U.S. territories, causing billions of dollars in devastating damage to places like Guam, which was battered by Super Typhoon Mawar in May last year.

Sources and notes

Tracking map Tracking data is from the National Hurricane Center and Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The map shows probabilities of at least 5 percent. The forecast is for up to five days, with that time span starting up to three hours before the reported time that the storm reaches its latest location. Wind speed probability data is not available north of 60.25 degrees north latitude.

Wind arrivals table Arrival times are generated from a New York Times analysis of National Hurricane Center data. Geographic locations use data from the U.S. Census Bureau and Natural Earth. Time zones are based on Google. The table shows predicted arrival times of sustained, damaging winds of 58 m.p.h. or more for select cities with a chance of such winds reaching them. If damaging winds reach a location, there is no more than a 10 percent chance that they will arrive before the “earliest reasonable” time and a 50 percent chance they will arrive before the “most likely” time.

Radar map Radar imagery is from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration via Iowa State University. These mosaics are generated by combining individual radar stations that comprise the NEXRAD network.

Storm surge map Storm surge data is from the National Hurricane Center. Forecasts only include the United States Gulf and Atlantic coasts, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The actual areas that could become flooded may differ from the areas shown on this map. This map accounts for tides, but not waves and not flooding caused by rainfall. The map also includes intertidal areas, which routinely flood during typical high tides.

Francine tracker: Map and projected storm path

Francine is the sixth named storm of the atlantic hurricane season..

Hurricane Francine made landfall in Terrebonne Parish, La. on Wednesday with 100-miles-per-hour winds and passed northwest of New Orleans. As it rapidly weakened ashore, Francine was downgraded to a tropical storm by the National Hurricane Center .

Along the Louisiana coast, Francine triggered damaging wind gusts topping 100 mph and unleashed torrential rain. After the storm passed, the streets of New Orleans remained flooded, and heavy rain continued to pummel southern Mississippi and Alabama, with tropical storm warnings in place along the Gulf Coast from Louisiana to the Alabama-Florida border.

How a hurricane forms and strengthens

Only when tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean encounter the right ingredients for long enough do they strengthen to the point of designation.

Meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center pay close attention to a cyclone’s wind speed, which determines its class. Once it reaches 39 mph for at least one minute, it’s classified as a tropical storm and given a name; at 74 mph, the storm becomes a Category 1 hurricane, and continues through Category 5.

These classifications help officials predict the possible risks and damage and send warnings of what to expect from the strong winds, waves, rains and floods when they hit land.

It’s dangerous to be caught in tropical storm-force winds. Stronger hurricane-force winds can d estroy homes and buildings and send debris flying.

The winds can also push seawater inland for miles, causing an abnormal rise in seawater levels, known as storm surge — the leading cause of death during a hurricane in the United States, according to the National Weather Service . Large waves are also a risk to people and property.

As a storm moves further inland, flooding becomes a major risk. Cyclones often produce more than six inches of heavy rain, which can overwhelm drainage systems and the ability of the ground to absorb the water, causing flash floods. Flooding may persist for days after a storm.

Hurricane season historically peaks around mid-September, and this season could be the worst in decades, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says. Government meteorologists predict 17 to 25 tropical storms this year, including four to seven that could become major hurricanes.
