A bone-dry October pushed almost half of the United States into a flash drought, leading to fires in the Midwest and hindering shipping on the Mississippi River, according to Associated Press reporting Tuesday.

Tuesday's high temperature of 86 tied the record. The morning low was the warmest low temperature ever recorded, seven degrees warmer than the average high.
Hurricane Milton’s devastating landfall along Florida’s Gulf Coast hit one of the most popular areas for temporary residents who spend the winter months living in the Sunshine State.
Fall is in full swing, but it’s not too soon to look ahead to winter, especially one that could feel considerably different than last year’s dominated by El Niño.
Florida residents slogged through flooded streets, gathered up scattered debris and assessed damage to their homes Friday after Hurricane Milton smashed through coastal communities and spawned a barrage of deadly tornadoes.
Milton’s growth Monday sets the stage for a dangerous storm surge in Tampa Bay and potential mass evacuations less than two weeks after a catastrophic Hurricane Helene swamped the coastline.
Rescue crews faced obstacles at every turn in North Carolina's remote mountains in the rush to reach those stranded or missing by Hurricane Helene's rampage that killed more than 200.
Widespread devastation left behind by Hurricane Helene came to light Monday across the South, revealing a wasteland of splintered houses, crushed cargo containers and mud-covered highways.
Authorities rushed to airlift supplies and restore communications and roads in flooded Asheville, North Carolina, on Sunday as Florida residents gathered for church services amid the wreckage of Hurricane Helene.
Now a post-tropical cyclone, the storm was expected to hover over the Tennessee Valley on Saturday and Sunday, the National Hurricane Center said.
Hurricane Helene left an enormous path of destruction across the southeastern U.S. on Friday, snapping trees like twigs, tearing apart homes and sending rescue crews on desperate missions.
A slow-motion catastrophe is playing out in the coastal North Carolina village of Rodanthe, where 10 houses have fallen into the Atlantic since 2020.
Rain is likely to start after midnight Thursday and will likely pick up during the day Friday, according to the National Weather Service in St. Louis.
