As severe weather events continue to impact various regions, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple alerts across different states in the United States. From flooding caused by excessive rainfall to dense fog and strong thunderstorms, residents are urged to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions.
In east central Kentucky, including Bath, Menifee, and Montgomery counties, a Flood Warning has been issued until 6:15 AM EST. Doppler radar indicates heavy rain due to thunderstorms, with between 0.7 and 1 inch of rain already fallen. The warning highlights the imminent or ongoing flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and low-lying areas.
Similarly, central Kentucky, including Anderson, Bullitt, Hardin, and other counties, is under a Flood Advisory until 5:00 AM EST. Doppler radar has detected heavy rain, with minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Locations such as Elizabethtown and Bardstown are expected to experience flooding.
In Portland, Oregon, a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 11:00 AM PST, affecting areas like the Lower Columbia River and Cowlitz River Valleys. Visibility is reduced to one quarter mile or less, posing hazardous driving conditions.
Moreover, clusters of strong thunderstorms are moving across Kentucky and Tennessee, with wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-size hail reported. Locations like Scottsville, Tompkinsville, and Frenchburg are likely to be impacted, with the potential for tree limb damage and unsecured objects being blown around.
In Colorado, a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the San Juan Mountains, with snow accumulations expected between 2 and 8 inches. Travel in the area could be very difficult from Sunday morning to Sunday night.
As these weather events unfold, it is crucial for residents to stay informed through official sources like the NWS and take necessary safety measures. Being prepared for changing weather conditions can help mitigate risks and ensure the well-being of individuals and communities.
