In Alaska, the NWS has issued a High Wind Warning for the Dalton Highway Summits and White Mountains, with southwest winds of 20 to 30 mph and gusts up to 50 mph expected until Thursday afternoon. These high winds could potentially move loose debris, damage property, and cause power outages, making travel difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles.
Additionally, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Atigun Pass, where total snow accumulations of 5 to 10 inches are expected, along with winds gusting as high as 55 mph. This advisory warns of slick and hazardous road conditions, particularly on bridges and overpasses.
In Minnesota, a Special Weather Statement has been issued for near-critical fire weather conditions due to dry conditions and south winds of 5 to 10 mph with gusts of 10 to 15 mph. Minimum relative humidity values of 18 to 28 percent could lead to the rapid spread of fires, prompting residents to check burning restrictions and fire danger before engaging in any outdoor burning activities.
Furthermore, flood advisories have been issued for areas in Puerto Rico, including Ciales, Manati, Aguadilla, and Isabela, where urban and small stream flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected. Heavy rain from thunderstorms has already led to minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas, with additional rainfall anticipated to exacerbate the situation.
Coastal Flood Warnings are also in effect for the Western Arctic Coast and Yukon Delta Coast in Alaska, with water levels rising significantly above the normal high tide line. These warnings highlight the potential for inundation, erosion, and flooding in various coastal communities, impacting infrastructure and access to essential services.
As communities across these regions brace for the impacts of severe weather, it is crucial for residents to stay informed, follow safety guidelines, and heed evacuation orders if necessary. By being prepared and proactive, individuals can mitigate risks and ensure their safety during these challenging weather events.
