In recent days, several weather-related events have been affecting different regions, prompting advisories and warnings from the National Weather Service (NWS) in various areas. From coastal flood advisories to thunderstorm warnings, these weather phenomena highlight the importance of staying informed and prepared for potential impacts.
The NWS Tiyan in Guam issued a Coastal Flood Advisory for the north, east, and south facing reefs of Majuro. Minor coastal flooding is expected until Thursday afternoon, with elevated seas and spring tides posing a threat of splashing and inundation along most reefs. While flooding of lots, parks, and roads is anticipated, only isolated road closures are expected.
Similarly, the NWS Brownsville in Texas issued a Coastal Flood Statement for Kenedy Island, Willacy Island, and Cameron Island Counties. Isolated minor coastal flooding is forecasted through Monday evening, with wave run-up potentially approaching dunes along narrow beaches. Beach equipment and vehicles driving along these beaches may be affected, along with elevated water levels across certain areas.
Additionally, the NWS San Juan in Puerto Rico issued a Special Weather Statement for strong thunderstorms over Morovis and Ciales, moving west at 10 mph. Wind gusts up to 40 mph, frequent lightning, and the possibility of pea-sized hail and funnel clouds were reported. Gusty winds could cause damage to tree limbs and vegetation, with locations like Ponce, Arecibo, and Coamo among those impacted.
These weather events serve as reminders of the unpredictable nature of weather and the importance of heeding official advisories and warnings. As climate change continues to influence weather patterns globally, it is crucial for individuals and communities to prioritize preparedness and resilience in the face of such events.
