As severe weather events continue to impact various regions across the United States, multiple states are currently under severe weather alerts, including flood advisories, flood warnings, and severe thunderstorm warnings. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued alerts for areas in California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Arizona, highlighting the imminent threats posed by heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and flash flooding.
In Southwest California, a Flood Advisory has been issued for San Diego County, with Doppler radar indicating heavy rain due to thunderstorms. Minor flooding is expected in low-lying areas, small streams, and normally dry arroyos, with water potentially covering roadways. Similar conditions are observed in west central Colorado, particularly in Mesa County, where urban area and small stream flooding continue due to excessive rainfall. Streams are rising rapidly, posing risks of flooding in flood-prone locations.
In central Nevada, the Flood Advisory for Nye County is set to expire as heavy rain has subsided, and localized flooding is decreasing. However, road closures remain in effect, urging caution to residents. Additionally, strong thunderstorms in Oregon and Utah have prompted Special Weather Statements, warning of gusty winds and hail in specific areas, including Howard Prairie in Oregon and St. George in Utah.
Furthermore, severe weather alerts in Arizona include a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Yuma County, with potential wind gusts of 60 mph and nickel-sized hail, as well as a Flash Flood Warning for east-central Yuma County due to heavy rainfall and the risk of life-threatening flash flooding.
These weather events underscore the importance of staying informed and prepared for severe weather conditions. Residents in the affected areas are advised to monitor local weather updates, heed warnings and advisories from the NWS, and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being.
