As various parts of the United States grapple with severe weather conditions, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple alerts to keep residents informed and safe. From wind advisories to dense fog warnings, thunderstorm alerts, and flood advisories, the country is experiencing a range of weather-related challenges.
In California, a Wind Advisory has been issued for the Interstate 5 Corridor and Western Antelope Valley Foothills. Northwest to north winds of 20 to 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph are expected until 6 AM PDT on Monday. The advisory warns of potential impacts such as blowing around unsecured objects, downed tree limbs, and possible power outages.
Additionally, a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for various areas in California, including Santa Barbara County Central Coast Beaches, Santa Ynez Valley, and Southern Salinas Valley. Visibility is expected to be one quarter mile or less in dense fog until 9 AM PDT, posing hazardous driving conditions.
Moving to Louisiana, a Special Weather Statement has been issued for a strong thunderstorm near Gloster, with wind gusts up to 50 mph. Gusty winds could lead to tree limb damage and the blowing around of unsecured objects in locations like Liberty, Centreville, and Gloster.
Furthermore, a Flood Advisory has been issued for parts of North Mississippi and West Tennessee, including DeSoto and Shelby counties. Excessive rainfall is expected to cause minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas until 6:15 AM CDT.
