On November 26, 2020, multiple severe weather alerts were issued across the United States by the National Weather Service (NWS), impacting various regions with different weather phenomena. These alerts serve as crucial warnings for residents to prepare and stay safe during adverse weather conditions.
In Marquette, Michigan, a Lakeshore Flood Advisory was issued for Ontonagon and Gogebic Counties until 7:00 PM EST. The advisory warned of minor lakeshore flooding, potentially causing water to accumulate on low-lying roads and properties along the lakeshore. This could lead to localized disruptions and safety hazards for residents in the affected areas.
Additionally, a Winter Storm Warning and Blizzard Warning were issued for Iron, Southern Houghton, Baraga, Gogebic, Keweenaw, Northern Houghton, Ontonagon, and Marquette Counties in Michigan. These warnings highlighted heavy snowfall, with additional accumulations ranging from 2 to 18 inches, accompanied by strong winds gusting up to 55 mph. The hazardous conditions were expected to impact travel, with reduced visibility and potential tree damage, affecting the Wednesday evening commute and Thanksgiving morning travel.
In other regions, such as Jackson County to Pike County in Kentucky, a Special Weather Statement was issued due to gusty west to northwest winds reaching up to 35 mph. These strong winds could displace unsecured outdoor decorations and other loose items, posing a risk to property and safety in the affected areas.
Furthermore, a Flash Flood Warning was issued for Brownsville, Texas, cautioning residents about the potential for flooding due to heavy rain. Although the heavy rain had subsided, remaining road closures were advised to be heeded to ensure safety and prevent any further threats from flooding.
As these weather alerts demonstrate, it is essential for individuals to stay informed and take necessary precautions during severe weather events. By following the guidance provided by official sources like the NWS, residents can mitigate risks and protect themselves and their property from the impacts of extreme weather conditions.
