In Florida, the NWS has extended a Flood Warning for the St. Johns River near Astor, affecting Volusia and Lake Counties. Recent rainfall has led to the river being in Minor Flood Stage, with forecasts indicating a slow decline through the weekend. However, additional rainfall could cause temporary increases in river levels, potentially leading to further flooding in the area.
Moving to Nebraska, a Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for areas near Valentine, with the potential for 60 mph wind gusts and quarter-size hail. This severe weather event could result in damage to vehicles, roofs, siding, and trees, highlighting the importance of taking precautions and seeking shelter during such storms.
In Texas, a Flash Flood Warning has been issued for several counties in the panhandle region, including Hemphill, Lipscomb, Ochiltree, and Roberts. Heavy rain from thunderstorms has already caused up to 1.5 inches of rainfall, with additional amounts of up to 2 inches expected. Flash flooding of small creeks, streams, urban areas, highways, and streets is likely, emphasizing the need for vigilance and preparedness.
Furthermore, Oklahoma is facing severe weather conditions, with Severe Thunderstorm Warnings issued for areas near Freedom, Gage, and Shattuck. Golf ball-sized hail and 60 mph wind gusts are anticipated, posing risks to individuals, animals, and property. Additionally, a Tornado Warning has been issued for south-central Ochiltree County, with a tornado-producing thunderstorm moving southward.
These weather alerts underscore the importance of staying informed, following safety guidelines, and heeding evacuation orders when necessary.
