Severe Weather Alerts Across the United States: Floods, Snow, and Strong Thunderstorms

As severe weather continues to impact various regions of the United States, multiple alerts have been issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) to warn residents of potential hazards. From flooding in Texas to snowfall in Colorado and strong thunderstorms in North Carolina, a range of weather events is unfolding across the country.

In South Texas, including Jim Wells, Nueces, and San Patricio counties, a Flood Advisory has been issued due to excessive rainfall. Doppler radar has indicated heavy rain from thunderstorms, leading to minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Locations such as Orange Grove, Bluntzer, Banquete, and Alfred-South La Paloma are expected to experience flooding.

In Northeast Cameron County, Texas, a similar Flood Advisory is in effect, with overflowing poor drainage areas causing minor flooding. Additional rainfall amounts are expected, further increasing the risk of flooding in areas like Arroyo City.

Moving to Colorado, Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for the Northern and Southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains as well as the Eastern San Juan Mountains. Snow accumulations between 5 and 10 inches are expected, along with gusty winds. Roadway conditions are likely to deteriorate, with slushy and snow-packed surfaces across higher mountain passes.

In North Carolina, a Special Weather Statement has been issued for areas including Goldsboro, Smithfield, and Fremont. Strong thunderstorms are moving eastward, with wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-size hail expected. Gusty winds could lead to tree damage and minor hail damage to vegetation.

As these weather events unfold, it is crucial for residents in affected areas to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. Following weather updates from credible sources like the NWS and being prepared for potential hazards can help mitigate risks associated with severe weather.
