As severe weather patterns continue to impact various regions, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple alerts across different states, warning residents of potential hazards. From thunderstorms to flash floods and tornado watches, the weather conditions are expected to pose risks to communities in the affected areas.
In New Mexico and Texas, a Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for West central Otero County and Northeastern Dona Ana County. The warning highlights the potential for 60 mph wind gusts and penny-size hail, which could cause damage to roofs, siding, and trees in locations like Alamogordo, White Sands National Park, and Holloman Air Force Base.
In Arkansas and Oklahoma, a Flash Flood Warning has been issued for several counties, including Crawford, Franklin, Sebastian, and Sequoyah. Heavy rain from thunderstorms has already led to between 1 and 3 inches of rainfall, with additional amounts of 0.5 to 1.5 inches possible. Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, and streets is expected, posing risks to areas like Fort Smith, Sallisaw, and Alma.
Furthermore, a Tornado Watch has been issued for counties in Arkansas and Oklahoma, including Crawford, Franklin, Sebastian, and Sequoyah. This watch indicates that conditions are favorable for tornado formation, urging residents in cities like Fort Smith and Poteau to stay alert and prepared for potential tornado activity.
Additionally, a Frost Advisory has been issued for the San Luis Valley in Colorado, where low temperatures ranging from 32 to 35 degrees could result in frost formation. Sensitive outdoor vegetation may be harmed or killed if left uncovered, emphasizing the need for protective measures in the affected areas.
As these weather events unfold, it is crucial for residents to stay informed, follow safety guidelines, and be prepared for any potential impacts. The NWS continues to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of communities in the path of these severe weather conditions.
