As severe weather continues to impact various states across the United States, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple special weather statements and severe thunderstorm warnings. These alerts highlight the potential hazards posed by strong thunderstorms, including high winds, hail, and heavy rainfall.
In Texas, a special weather statement issued by NWS Fort Worth TX warns of a strong thunderstorm near Bells, moving east at 15 mph, with winds in excess of 40 mph and nickel-sized hail. The impacted locations include Sherman, Denison, and Bells. Similarly, in Tennessee, a strong thunderstorm is tracked moving northeast at 30 mph, with wind gusts up to 50 mph impacting areas like Sunbright and Rugby.
Kentucky is also experiencing severe weather, with thunderstorms along a line moving east at 40 mph, bringing wind gusts up to 40 mph. Locations such as Salyersville and Malone are expected to be impacted. In Oregon, a cluster of strong thunderstorms is moving north at 15 mph, with wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail affecting rural areas of Wheeler and Jefferson Counties.
Moreover, a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for several counties in Kentucky, including Morgan, Johnson, and Floyd, with 60 mph wind gusts expected to cause damage to roofs, siding, and trees. The warning emphasizes the need for residents to stay alert and take necessary precautions.
In addition to the severe thunderstorms, an air quality alert has been issued for smoke in Washington by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. Wildfires in the region are causing air quality to reach unhealthy levels, particularly in King County and southern Snohomish County. Individuals, especially sensitive groups, are advised to limit outdoor activities and choose light indoor activities to protect their health.
As severe weather events continue to unfold, it is crucial for residents in the affected areas to stay informed, follow safety guidelines, and take necessary precautions to ensure their well-being.
