As severe weather events continue to impact California, multiple alerts have been issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) across the state. From flash floods to tornadoes and winter storms, residents are urged to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
In Western Central San Luis Obispo County, a Flash Flood Warning has been issued by the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard. Thunderstorms producing heavy rain have led to ongoing flash flooding, with small creeks, streams, urban areas, highways, and underpasses at risk. Debris flows are also possible in and around recent burn scars, posing additional dangers to the affected areas.
Simultaneously, a Tornado Warning has been issued for locations including San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, and Arroyo Grande. Severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes have been detected, with potential damage to mobile homes, roofs, and vehicles. Residents in these areas are advised to seek shelter immediately and stay informed about the evolving weather conditions.
In central California, a Flood Watch is in effect, with excessive rainfall continuing to pose a threat of flooding in various areas, including Fresno-Tulare Lower Sierra, Kern River Valley, and Yosemite Valley. The NWS Hanford warns of potential flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and low-lying locations, with debris flows possible over burn scars. Rainfall rates are expected to be significant, further increasing the risk of flooding.
Additionally, Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for parts of central California and the White and Inyo Mountains. Heavy snowfall is anticipated, with snow levels dropping to 6,000 to 7,000 feet and total accumulations of up to 3 feet in some areas. Hazardous travel conditions are expected, with visibilities dropping due to falling and blowing snow, impacting commutes and overall travel safety.
As these severe weather events unfold, it is crucial for residents to stay informed through official sources like the NWS and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being. By heeding the warnings and staying prepared, individuals can mitigate the risks associated with these extreme weather conditions.
