In the Mississippi River, experts were concerned about the low water level in the region due to prolonged dry conditions and lack of rainfall.

On the weekend, the weather will improve in the following areas:

• Portland
• Boston
• Virginia Beach

• Charleston
• Pittsburgh

However, residents should still watch out for possible coastal flooding until Friday. Challenging surf conditions and coastal flooding are likely in Atlantic City, Charleston, Wilmington and Virginia Beach.

As of September 26's advisory, the cold fronts in the Northwestern US and Northeast Pacific can help unleash the below-average temperatures in the region.

Weather in Wyoming and Colorado

The hazardous weather advisory warned of possible fire concerns in Colorado this week. The low humidity and gusty winds can favor the rapid intensification of fires.

On Wednesday, Colorado residents can expect possible rain and thunderstorms in Northeastern and North-Central portions.

Meanwhile, fire dangers are possible in Central and Southern Wyoming this week due to dry and warm conditions on Thursday. Elevated critical fire weather outlook is the concern due to above-normal temperatures and wind gusts reaching 25 to 35 mph.

On Sunday, there is a chance of slow levels and rainy conditions.

While the fall weather begins, homeowners should stay alert for possible damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. Hurricanes and tropical storms can still emerge in October, bringing potential flooding rainfall concerns.

As winter is near, homeowners should also check for potential home repairs after experiencing challenging hurricanes and severe thunderstorms.
