3:54-4:31: Desert Southwest & Four Corners (Flash Flood Risk) - Albuquerque (statewide), Phoenix (Flood Watch), Tucson (Polo's moisture influence), precipitable water 175-250% of normal, below normal temperatures.
4:31-4:46: Plains - Gradient-driven winds from trough/Great Lakes high.

4:47-6:11: Midwest Fog & Impending Rain Event

4:47-5:17: Midwest/Great Lakes Fog (Chicago, Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, NW Indiana) - Radiational cooling, high humidity (57°F/55°F dew point at O'Hare).
5:17-5:40: Midwest Pattern Shift (Wednesday-Thursday) - Polo's remnants merge with long-wave trough, near-record moisture (2 inches precipitable water), 2-3 inches localized rain possible.
5:40-6:11: Cold Front & Record September (St. Louis, Columbia, MO) - Highs drop to 60s, St. Louis 90°F (10-15° above normal), widespread rain (1.8 inches precipitable water / >99th percentile).

6:12-7:01: East Coast & Alaska Conditions

6:12-6:29: East Coast - Boston (37 mph gust), New York JFK (25 mph winds), Baltimore (64°F, 17 mph, 30.00 in), weak frontal boundary.
6:29-7:01: Alaska - Shortwave trough, snow levels drop (1800-2000ft Mananuska/Susitna), gap winds (Kodiak), Anchorage (43°F), low south of Seward brings steady precipitation to Kenai Peninsula.

7:02-8:25: Outlook, Observations & Recap

7:02-7:27: SPC 6-10 & 8-14 Day Outlooks - Trough lifts NE, ridge builds over central US, near/above normal temps (eastern 2/3), desert SW cools.
7:27-8:03: Notable Observations - Warmest (Dallas 82°F/50 mph gust), Coolest (Anchorage 43°F), Highest Dew Point (New Orleans 72°F), Lowest Pressure (Phoenix 29.70 in), Highest Pressure (Chicago 30.05 in), Strongest Wind (Dallas 50 mph). No snow reported.

8:26-10:56: Forecaster's Diary: Chicago AFD & Polo's Influence

8:26-9:13: NWS Chicago AFD - Key Messages: Fog Tonight, Heavy Rain Midweek. Explanation of reasoning behind forecasts.
9:14-10:26: Polo's Remnants & Long-Wave Trough - Major pattern shift, Polo's remnants track NE, merge with long-wave trough (jet stream dip), tropical moisture + trough dynamics = massive rain, slow-moving cold front.
10:27-10:56: Moisture Collision in the Midwest - Frontal zone shifts, Pacific moisture (Polo) + Gulf moisture merge over Great Lakes, significantly enhancing rainfall potential.

Corrected update: a high-pressure ridge keeps Chicago's pattern unchanged through Monday, with the next real front and rain chance not arriving until Wednesday morning at the earliest. The nor'easter has dropped serious rainfall — 6 inches in Falmouth, MA and over 5 inches in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ — with 1 to 3 more inches possible on saturated ground. Post-Tropical Cyclone Odalys has weakened out of hurricane status and is expected to dissipate by midweek. In the Pacific, Hurricane Polo remains a Category 3 approaching Baja California Sur, and Hurricane Nolo has rapidly intensified into a Category 4 with 145 mph winds, now 380 miles south-southwest of Honolulu. Also: the Chicago outlook and Sukkot chol hamoed zmanim. Tropical and weather-service information is from the latest National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service products as of Sunday evening, corrected after initial publication.

New Mexico flooding leads the hazards, alongside the East Coast coastal storm, Lake Michigan beach and small-craft dangers, Hurricane Polo, and developing threats in Alaska and Hawaii. Includes explained seven-day forecasts for Chicago and St. Louis, mountain snow possibilities, extended temperature outlooks, and Hurricane Hugo history.

Weather checked September 22, 2026; key Chicago, St. Louis, hurricane, and Hawaii products refreshed at approximately 5:46 p.m. Chicago time. Forecasts and warnings can change after recording. Consult current official warnings.

AI playback does not fulfill personal recitation. Full Birkat Hamazon remains the normal practice; exceptional use of an abbreviation requires rabbinic guidance.
