Similarly, in Texas, a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for locations such as Liberal and Tyrone, with wind gusts of 60 mph and quarter-sized hail expected. The NWS has highlighted the possibility of minor damage to roofs, siding, trees, and vehicles in these areas.
In Kansas, a strong thunderstorm near Forgan has been reported, with wind gusts of 50 to 55 mph and nickel-sized hail. While the impact is expected to be mainly on rural areas, residents are urged to be cautious of potential hazards caused by the storm.
Moreover, a flood advisory has been issued for Polk County in east-central Nebraska, where heavy rainfall has led to minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.

As climate change continues to impact weather patterns, it is essential for communities to be vigilant and adaptable in the face of severe weather events. By staying informed, prepared, and responsive, individuals can mitigate risks and minimize the impact of such weather-related incidents.
