As severe weather patterns continue to impact various regions of 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 damaging winds, hail, and localized flooding. Additionally, coastal areas in Hawaii are facing minor flooding due to peak high tides associated with the lunar cycle.
In Kentucky, strong thunderstorms have been detected near Mount Sterling and Lakesville, with wind gusts of up to 50 mph and pea-sized hail reported. The NWS warns of possible tree damage and minor hail damage to vegetation in these areas. Highways such as the Mountain Parkway and U.S. Highway 23 are expected to be impacted by these weather conditions.
In Oklahoma, thunderstorms along a line extending from Durant to Trenton are moving northeast at 25 mph, with wind gusts of 40 mph. Residents in locations such as Durant, Colbert, and Bokchito are advised to be cautious of potential tree limb damage and unsecured objects being blown around.
Meanwhile, coastal areas of all Hawaiian islands are experiencing minor flooding during high tides through Sunday afternoon. The NWS in Honolulu has issued a coastal flood statement, warning of flooding of normally dry beaches, minor coastal erosion, and saltwater inundation in low-lying coastal areas.
In Tennessee, severe thunderstorm warnings have been issued for various counties, including Davidson and Cheatham. These warnings indicate the potential for 60 mph wind gusts and quarter-size hail, posing risks to vehicles, roofs, siding, and trees in the affected areas.
As these weather events unfold, it is crucial for residents to stay informed and heed the advice of local authorities and meteorological services. By taking necessary precautions and staying vigilant, individuals can minimize the impact of severe weather on their communities.
