As severe weather patterns continue to impact various regions, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple alerts across California and the northeastern United States. These alerts include flash flood warnings, flood advisories, wind advisories, and special weather statements, highlighting the imminent threats posed by extreme weather conditions.
In central California, the NWS Hanford issued a Flash Flood Warning for the Borel burn scar in North Central Kern County.

The warning emphasizes the potential for life-threatening flash flooding in and around the burn scar area, urging residents to exercise caution.
Simultaneously, a Flood Advisory was issued for a portion of central California, including Kern County, due to arroyo and small stream flooding caused by excessive rainfall. Local law enforcement reported heavy rain along Highway 58, leading to minor flooding in various areas. The advisory warns of dangerous flows over low-water crossings and overflowing poor drainage areas, impacting communities like Tehachapi and Bear Valley Springs.
In southern California, the NWS Las Vegas issued a Flash Flood Warning for San Bernardino County, emphasizing the threat of life-threatening flash flooding of low-water crossings, creeks, washes, and roads. Thunderstorms producing heavy rain have prompted the warning, with locations like Daggett and Newberry Springs at risk of flash flooding.
Moving to the northeastern United States, the NWS Binghamton and State College issued Wind Advisories for central New York, northeast Pennsylvania, and central Pennsylvania.
