Severe Weather Alerts Across the United States: Thunderstorms and Coastal Flood Watch

As severe weather continues to impact various regions in the United States, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple special weather statements and warnings. From thunderstorms with hail and strong winds to a coastal flood watch, residents in several states are urged to stay informed and take necessary precautions.

In Kansas City, Missouri, a strong thunderstorm near Osawatomie is moving southeast at 25 mph, with the potential for half-inch hail. The NWS warns of minor hail damage to vegetation in the affected areas. Similarly, in Reno, Nevada, a thunderstorm near Northstar may bring wind gusts up to 40 mph and half-inch hail, posing risks of tree limb damage and unsecured object displacement.

Moving to Texas, a thunderstorm southwest of Wolf Creek Park is expected to bring wind gusts up to 50 mph and half-inch hail. While this storm is projected to impact mainly rural areas of northern Roberts County, residents should remain vigilant. In Dodge City, Kansas, a strong thunderstorm near Wilmore is moving southeast at 35 mph, with wind gusts of 50 to 55 mph and potential hail.

Moreover, a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Emporia and Americus in Kansas, with 60 mph wind gusts and half-dollar size hail expected. Hail damage to vehicles and wind damage to roofs, siding, and trees are anticipated in the affected areas.

In addition to the thunderstorm alerts, a coastal flood watch has been issued for Anne Arundel County in Maryland. Tidal flooding may cause around a foot and a half of inundation above ground level in low-lying areas, with impacts expected around high tide periods.

As severe weather events unfold across the United States, it is crucial for residents to heed the warnings from the NWS, take necessary safety measures, and stay updated on the latest developments in their area.
