As severe weather events continue to impact various regions across the United States, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple advisories to alert residents of potential hazards. From wind advisories to flood warnings, these alerts aim to keep communities informed and prepared for adverse weather conditions.
In California and Nevada, a Wind Advisory has been issued for areas including Death Valley National Park, Morongo Basin, Western Mojave Desert, Esmeralda, Central Nye County, and Lincoln County. South-southwest winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph are expected from 11 AM to 11 PM PDT on Monday. The advisory warns of gusty winds that could blow around unsecured objects, potentially causing tree limbs to fall and leading to a few power outages. Additionally, blowing dust may result in localized rapid changes in visibility.
In southeast North Carolina and northeast South Carolina, a Flood Advisory is in effect due to excessive rainfall. Doppler radar has indicated heavy rain from thunderstorms, with between 1 and 3 inches of rain falling in the past 3 hours. Minor flooding in low-lying areas, water flowing across roadways, and overflowing poor drainage areas are expected impacts. Additional rainfall amounts of 0.5 to 2 inches may lead to further minor flooding.
Along the coast of the Upper Keys in Florida, a Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued for saltwater flooding. This advisory warns of saltwater flooding of low elevation streets and lots, with some storm drains expected to overflow and seawalls and docks likely to be overtopped. Boaters are advised to expect less clearance under fixed bridges, and motorists should be cautious of saltwater mix in persistent puddles.
In the Lower and Middle Keys of Florida, a Coastal Flood Statement has been issued for minor saltwater flooding. Similar impacts to the Coastal Flood Advisory for the Upper Keys are expected, with flooding of low elevation streets and lots mainly around high tide times.
In Arizona, a Flash Flood Warning is in effect for Whitlow Canyon and Queen Creek in Queen Valley. Thunderstorms producing heavy rain have led to between 2 and 3 inches of rainfall, causing flash flooding. Life-threatening flash flooding of creeks, streams, urban areas, highways, streets, and underpasses is occurring.
Additionally, a Flood Warning has been issued for a portion of south central Arizona, including Maricopa County. Small stream flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected, with flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and low-lying areas imminent or occurring.
As these severe weather events unfold, it is crucial for residents in affected areas to stay informed, follow guidance from local authorities, and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
