As severe weather continues to impact various parts of Texas, the National Weather Service has issued multiple alerts for thunderstorms and floods. From severe thunderstorm warnings to flood advisories, the state is facing significant weather-related challenges.
In Midland/Odessa, a severe thunderstorm warning was issued, indicating the presence of hail and strong winds. The storm, moving at a rapid pace, poses risks to vehicles, roofs, siding, and trees in the affected areas. Similarly, a flash flood warning was issued for Big Lake, where heavy rainfall has already caused street flooding. The potential for flash flooding in small creeks, urban areas, and highways is a cause for concern.
In San Angelo, a flood advisory has been issued due to excessive rainfall, leading to urban and small stream flooding. The impacted counties, including Coke, Irion, Runnels, Sterling, and Tom Green, are urged to exercise caution in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
Moving northwest to Seattle, a cold front has brought heavy rain, resulting in urban and small stream flooding in the Puget Sound area. The counties of Skagit and Snohomish are experiencing minor flooding in low-lying areas and over roadways.
Furthermore, a special weather statement from Amarillo warns of a strong thunderstorm capable of producing a landspout, with potential wind gusts and hail. While the storm is expected to affect rural areas, outdoor objects and tree limbs could sustain minor damage.
These weather events highlight the importance of staying informed and prepared during severe weather conditions. It is crucial to heed warnings from official sources and take necessary precautions to ensure safety.
