99 Flood Warnings and Rapid River Rises Across the Midwest

I report that a slow-moving storm is causing widespread, life-threatening flooding across the central United States. We have 99 flood warnings and 14 flash flood warnings across Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas and Arizona. Forecasters warn of life-threatening flash flooding in west central Texas and significant river flooding in Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri. We also note Tropical Storm Choi Juan approaching the Northern Mariana Islands with tropical storm warnings and a typhoon watch for parts of the island chain. On the national front, CISA added a critical Cisco SD‑WAN Manager vulnerability to the known exploited list with a short remediation deadline, indicating active exploitation. We report elevated fire activity, a late season heat event in Southern California, ongoing volcanic unrest in Alaska and Hawaii, and high surf and coastal flood threats in the Marianas. We advise listeners to monitor local warnings and follow official guidance as conditions continue to evolve. Takeaways: I reported widespread flooding across the central United States with numerous flood warnings issued in the past twenty-four hours. We warned of life-threatening flash flooding in west central Texas with one to five inches already recorded. I noted that tropical storm Choi Juan may intensify to typhoon strength and threaten the Northern Mariana Islands with damaging winds and coastal inundation. We announced that CISA added a Cisco SD-WAN Manager vulnerability to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog with a three-day federal remediation deadline, indicating active exploitation. I described ongoing fire activity and a late season heat event that elevates risk in Southern California and other states. Sponsors B.
