As the winter season approaches, various regions in the United States are experiencing severe weather conditions, prompting the issuance of multiple weather alerts. From dense fog advisories to snow warnings and thunderstorm alerts, residents are urged to exercise caution and stay informed about the changing weather patterns.
In the Pacific Northwest, a Dense Fog Advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) for several areas, including Seattle, Olympia, and Southern Puget Sound. The advisory warns of visibility dropping to one quarter mile or less, making driving conditions hazardous until 10 AM PST. Localized areas of dense fog have developed, but visibilities are expected to improve by mid to late morning.
In the Northeast, residents of Elk, McKean, Warren, Cameron, and Potter Counties in Pennsylvania are facing heavy lake-effect snow. The NWS has issued Lake Effect Snow Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories, with total snow accumulations ranging from 2 to 8 inches and winds gusting as high as 50 mph. Hazardous road conditions, reduced visibility, and potential power outages are expected until 1 PM EST on Monday.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a Special Weather Statement has been issued for communities west and southwest of San Antonio due to patchy dense fog. Visibility is reduced to 1/4 mile or less, impacting morning commuters. Motorists are advised to drive cautiously, slow down, and use low beams until visibility improves between 9 AM to 10 AM.
In Southern California, a Flood Advisory has been issued for the San Gabriel mountains and foothills of Los Angeles County, including areas affected by recent burn scars. Minor flooding and debris flows are expected due to excessive rainfall, with rises in small streams and arroyos. Additionally, a Special Weather Statement warns of a strong thunderstorm over San Dimas, with wind gusts up to 50 mph, pea-sized hail, and a very weak tornado possible.
These weather alerts highlight the importance of staying informed and prepared for changing weather conditions. It is crucial for residents to heed the warnings issued by the NWS and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being.
