As severe weather patterns continue to impact various regions in the United States, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a series of alerts for strong thunderstorms and coastal flooding. These weather events pose potential hazards to communities in several states, prompting residents to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions.
In Queen Annes, Talbot, and Caroline counties in Maryland, a Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued by the NWS Mount Holly NJ. The advisory warns of up to half a foot of inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. This could lead to flooding on vulnerable roads in bayside communities and along tidal waterways, potentially causing partial or full road closures.
Meanwhile, in Kentucky, a Special Weather Statement from the NWS Louisville KY highlights the threat of strong thunderstorms with wind gusts up to 50 mph. These gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects in areas such as Glasgow, Tompkinsville, and Burkesville.
In Ohio, a Wind Advisory issued by the NWS Cleveland OH warns of northwest wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph following the end of southerly wind gusts up to 50 mph earlier in the day. This change in wind direction could impact the region into the evening and overnight hours.
Further south, in Florida, a Special Weather Statement from the NWS Tallahassee FL cautions of strong thunderstorms with wind gusts up to 40 mph near Carrabelle. These gusty winds could also lead to tree damage and unsecured object displacement in areas like Carrabelle Beach and Saint Teresa.
Additionally, a Flood Advisory has been issued for a portion of the Middle Keys in Florida by the NWS Key West FL. Excessive rainfall is expected to cause minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas, with water over roadways and overflowing drainage areas. Residents in areas like Marathon and Duck Key should be prepared for potential flooding.
As these severe weather events unfold, it is crucial for residents to stay informed and heed the advice of local authorities. By taking proactive measures to secure outdoor items, avoid driving through flooded areas, and staying updated on weather alerts, individuals can help mitigate the risks associated with these weather phenomena.
