In South Texas, a Flood Advisory has been issued for areas including San Patricio, Jim Wells, and Live Oak counties due to excessive rainfall. Doppler radar has indicated heavy rain from thunderstorms, with minor flooding expected in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Locations such as Portland, Gregory, Orange Grove, and Lake City are likely to experience flooding, with rainfall totals ranging between 2 to 4 inches.
In addition to the Flood Advisory, a Special Weather Statement has been issued for a strong thunderstorm near Argenta in Texas, with wind gusts up to 50 mph and half-inch hail expected. The impacted area includes Beeville, with potential hazards to drivers on highways such as Interstate 37 and US Highway 181.
Moving to the West Coast, the NWS has issued a High Surf Advisory for Ventura County Beaches in California, warning of large breaking waves up to 7 feet and dangerous rip currents. This advisory is in effect until 9 AM PST Sunday, with increased risks of ocean drowning, beach erosion, and minor flooding of dry areas. Similarly, a High Surf Advisory has been issued for San Luis Obispo County Beaches and Santa Barbara County Central Coast Beaches, with waves of 9 to 13 feet and potential hazards like rip currents and beach erosion.
As these weather events unfold, it is crucial for residents in the affected areas to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.

In a world where climate change is contributing to more frequent and intense weather events, it is imperative to prioritize preparedness and resilience in the face of natural disasters. By leveraging technology and data-driven insights, communities can better anticipate, respond to, and recover from extreme weather events, ultimately safeguarding lives and property.
