Severe weather alerts have been issued across various states in the United States, with thunderstorms, floods, and fog posing risks to residents. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple warnings and advisories to keep the public informed and safe.
In central California, including Fresno and Madera counties, a Flood Advisory has been issued due to excessive rainfall. Local law enforcement reported heavy rain, leading to minor flooding in low-lying areas. Additional rainfall is expected, further increasing the risk of flooding in the region. Locations such as Mendota, Firebaugh, and Panoche Road are likely to experience flooding.
In West Virginia, severe thunderstorm warnings have been issued for several counties, including Randolph, Upshur, Barbour, Calhoun, Gilmer, Braxton, Roane, and Clay. These warnings highlight the potential for 60 mph wind gusts, which could cause damage to roofs, siding, and trees. Residents in areas like Elkins, Belington, Gassaway, and Arnoldsburg should remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.
Additionally, a Special Weather Statement has been issued for portions of Hill and Blaine counties in Montana, warning of patchy dense fog developing overnight. Variable visibility down to a quarter mile and slippery spots on roads due to frost deposition are expected. Travelers should be prepared for challenging road conditions, especially on US Highway 2.
In southwest California, including Los Angeles County, another Flood Advisory has been issued due to heavy rainfall. The advisory warns of minor flooding in low-lying areas, rises in small streams, and ponding of water in urban areas. Residents in locations like Long Beach, Pasadena, and Downtown Los Angeles should be cautious of potential flooding and debris flows in recent burn scars.
The combination of severe thunderstorms, floods, and fog across multiple states underscores the importance of staying informed and prepared for changing weather conditions. It is crucial for residents to heed the warnings issued by the NWS and take necessary safety measures to protect themselves and their property.
