As severe weather continues to impact various regions of the United States, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple alerts warning residents of potential hazards. From coastal flooding in Florida to thunderstorms in Kentucky and Montana, the country is experiencing a range of weather events that require vigilance and preparedness.
In the Upper Florida Keys, a Coastal Flood Statement has been issued by the NWS Key West FL, predicting minor saltwater flooding through late tonight. Low elevation streets and lots are likely to experience flooding, with storm drains overflowing and seawalls and docks being overtopped. Boaters are advised to expect less clearance under fixed bridges, and motorists should exercise caution around high tide periods due to saltwater mixing with persistent puddles.
In Kentucky, strong thunderstorms are moving southwest at 20 mph, with wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail reported in locations such as Mayfield, Fulton, and Hickman. The NWS Paducah KY has issued a Special Weather Statement warning of potential damage to tree limbs and vegetation, as well as unsecured objects being blown around.
Similarly, Montana is facing its own weather challenges, with wind gusts up to 50 mph predicted in areas like Livingston, Clyde Park, and Wilsall. The NWS Billings MT has issued a Special Weather Statement cautioning residents about potential hazards such as downed tree limbs and unsecured objects being blown around.
Severe thunderstorms have also been reported in Great Falls, Montana, with wind gusts of up to 60 mph expected to cause damage to roofs, siding, and trees. The NWS Great Falls MT has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for areas including Great Falls, Cascade, and Belt, urging residents to take precautions to protect themselves and their property.
In Tennessee, strong thunderstorms are moving south at 30 mph, with wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail reported in locations like Martin, Union City, and Fulton. The NWS Memphis TN has issued a Special Weather Statement highlighting the potential for gusty winds and minor hail damage.
Additionally, a Flood Advisory has been issued for parts of western and central Bottineau County in North Dakota, where excessive rainfall has caused minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. The NWS Bismarck ND warns residents of ongoing or expected flooding due to earlier thunderstorms, with no significant additional rainfall expected.
As severe weather events continue to unfold across the United States, it is crucial for residents to stay informed and heed the warnings issued by the NWS. By taking proactive measures to protect themselves and their property, individuals can mitigate the impact of these weather-related hazards.
