A wave of bomb threats has hit flights across Europe. No injuries have been reported and no explosives have been found. Bomb squads are on the ground at airports throughout the continent. One alert targeted a LOT Polish Airlines flight departing Warsaw. Seven of the warnings have been ruled false alarms. Warsaw Modlin airport has reopened after the earlier warning. Authorities have not identified who made the threats or why they were issued, and it is still unclear whether any credible evidence of bombs ever existed.

An update on the Mississippi Senate race: Democrat Scott Colom now leads incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde‑Smith by fewer than 1,200 votes.

Democrats added hundreds of seats in state legislatures in Tuesday’s midterm elections, a historic gain. They secured full control in Arizona for the first time in six decades and in Pennsylvania for the first time since the 1990s. The party also took control of both the House and the Senate. Reporter Weijia Jiang said she spoke with Trump on the phone. Trump criticized Fox News after the results came in. Voters waited for the midterm outcomes as the night unfolded. It remains unknown how the new Democratic majorities will turn their wins into concrete legislation, and how Trump’s asserted power to block them will be exercised, given any legal or institutional limits. How the shift will affect Trump’s policy goals and the broader political landscape ahead of the next presidential election is still unclear.

Thanks, Theo. I'm Ivy, with the weather.

Here’s how today is shaping up across the country. The National Weather Service has flood warnings for parts of Florida, Colorado and Utah, and a high wind watch for parts of Montana. In the Northeast, highs in the low 70s with rain around. In the South, highs from the 70s to the 80s with plenty of sunshine, and some rain near Atlanta and Miami. In the Midwest, highs from the 40s to the 50s under cloudy skies, and some rain near Chicago. In the West, highs from the 50s to the 80s with plenty of sunshine. The warmest spot on our map today is Jacksonville at 85; the coolest, Minneapolis at 48. If you’re flying, the FAA reports no major delays at the nation’s big airports.

That's the weather. Back to you, Elena.
