In recent hours, various regions across the United States have been issued severe weather alerts, including flood advisories and warnings, as well as a red flag warning for potential fire hazards. The National Weather Service (NWS) has been actively monitoring these weather patterns to ensure the safety of residents in affected areas.
In El Paso, Texas, a Flood Advisory was issued, which has now expired, as the heavy rain has ceased, and the threat of flooding has diminished. However, residents are advised to remain cautious of any remaining road closures in the area. A similar situation occurred in Tucson, Arizona, where a Flash Flood Warning was in effect but has also been lifted due to the cessation of heavy rainfall.
On the other hand, a Red Flag Warning has been issued in Seattle, Washington, for dry thunderstorms and gusty outflow winds. This warning is in effect until early Sunday morning, with the potential for lightning strikes on dry fuels to cause new fire starts. The impacted area includes the West Slopes of the Central Cascades above 1500 feet, where outflow winds of 25 to 30 mph are possible, posing a threat to fire spread and air quality.
Moreover, in central New Mexico, including Bernalillo and northeastern Valencia counties, a Flood Advisory has been issued due to excessive rainfall causing arroyo and small stream flooding. Doppler radar indicates heavy rain from thunderstorms, with up to 1.75 inches already fallen and additional rainfall expected. The advisory is in effect until early morning, with minor flooding anticipated in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
In central Pima County, Arizona, another Flood Advisory is in place until late evening, with minor flooding expected in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Doppler radar has detected heavy rain from thunderstorms, with between 0.7 and 1.2 inches of rain already fallen. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and heed any road closures in the area.
Lastly, a Flood Warning has been issued for portions of New Jersey, including Mercer, Monmouth, Middlesex, and Burlington counties, where heavy rainfall is causing flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and low-lying areas. Doppler radar indicates ongoing or imminent flooding, with additional rainfall expected.
These weather alerts highlight the importance of staying informed and prepared for severe weather events. It is crucial for residents in affected areas to follow the guidance of local authorities and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being.
