As severe weather events continue to impact various regions of the United States, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple alerts to warn residents about potential hazards. From thunderstorms to dense fog and flooding, these weather phenomena pose risks to communities across the country.

In Southern California, a Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued by the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard for areas including Rancho Palos Verdes, Torrance, and Rolling Hills.

Residents in these areas are advised to take precautions and stay indoors until the storm passes.

In Alabama, multiple Dense Fog Advisories were issued by the NWS Huntsville and NWS Birmingham for counties such as DeKalb, Marshall, Barbour, Bullock, and more. The advisories warned of visibility as low as a quarter mile or less, making driving conditions hazardous. Motorists are urged to use caution and drive at reduced speeds to ensure safety on the roads.

Meanwhile, in Southwest California, including Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties, a Flood Advisory was issued by the NWS San Diego. The advisory highlighted the potential for urban and small stream flooding due to excessive rainfall. Residents in affected areas, such as Anaheim, Santa Ana, and Irvine, should be prepared for minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.

Additionally, the NWS Pendleton issued a Dense Fog Advisory for Central Oregon, warning of visibility as low as a quarter mile. Drivers in this region should exercise caution and be prepared for reduced visibility on the roads.
