Coastal Flood Warnings and Severe Thunderstorms: Weather Alerts Across the United States

As weather patterns continue to shift and intensify, various regions in the United States are currently under the threat of severe weather conditions. Coastal flood warnings and severe thunderstorm alerts have been issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) in different states, highlighting the potential risks and impacts on communities.

In New Jersey, the NWS Mount Holly has issued Coastal Flood Advisories and Warnings for areas such as Sussex, Delaware Beaches, Ocean, Coastal Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington. These alerts indicate the possibility of inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways, with impacts ranging from partial road closures to damage to vulnerable structures. The most significant impacts are expected in back bay and bayside communities, emphasizing the need for residents to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions.

In Arizona, severe thunderstorm warnings have been issued by the NWS Phoenix, with the potential for 60 mph wind gusts and quarter-size hail. Locations like Phoenix, Scottsdale, Cave Creek, and Carefree are expected to experience these severe weather conditions, which could lead to hail damage to vehicles and wind damage to roofs, siding, and trees. Residents in these areas are advised to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel until the storms pass.

Meanwhile, in Alaska, a Hydrologic Outlook has been issued by the NWS Anchorage, indicating the possibility of rising river levels on the Snow River due to a potential release from Snow Glacier Dammed Lake. While water levels are not expected to reach flood stage, a rise of 2 to 3 feet is likely, impacting areas around Kenai Lake and the Upper Kenai River. Residents living near these water bodies are urged to monitor conditions closely and prepare for rising water levels.

These weather alerts underscore the importance of staying informed and prepared for extreme weather events. By heeding the warnings issued by meteorological agencies and taking proactive measures to safeguard lives and property, communities can mitigate the impacts of severe weather conditions.
