As severe weather continues to impact various regions across the United States, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple alerts warning residents of potential hazards. From thunderstorms to flooding, these weather events are causing disruptions and posing risks to communities.
In Naguabo, Puerto Rico, a Flood Warning has been issued until 8:45 PM AST due to excessive rainfall along Rio Blanco. The NWS warns of small stream flooding, with rivers, creeks, and streams expected to rise from runoff. Doppler radar indicates heavy rain from thunderstorms, with additional rainfall likely.
In Texas, several Special Weather Statements have been issued for areas including Houston/Galveston, Corpus Christi, and Austin/San Antonio. These alerts highlight the potential for strong thunderstorms with wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail. Gusty winds could lead to tree damage and minor hail damage to vegetation in impacted locations.
In Alaska, a Hydrologic Outlook has been issued for the Skilak glacier dammed lake, with rising water levels expected along the Kenai River downstream of Skilak Lake. While flooding is not anticipated at this time, residents are advised to be aware of potential impacts.
In Washington state, a Flood Watch remains in effect for portions of northwest and west central Washington, including Skagit, King, and Snohomish counties. Excessive rainfall may lead to flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and low-lying areas. Rivers like the Snoqualmie and Skykomish are being monitored for potential flooding.
These weather alerts serve as crucial warnings for residents to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. As climate change continues to influence weather patterns, it is essential for communities to be prepared for extreme weather events.
