As severe weather events continue to impact various regions across the United States, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple alerts to warn residents of potential hazards. From thunderstorms with hail and strong winds to flooding caused by excessive rainfall and winter weather advisories, the country is experiencing a diverse range of weather phenomena.
In Texas, the NWS San Angelo issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for several counties, including Tom Green and Irion, with the possibility of golf ball-sized hail and 60 mph wind gusts. This severe thunderstorm is expected to move eastward, affecting areas like Carlsbad and Grape Creek. Similarly, a Special Weather Statement was issued by the NWS Tulsa for a strong thunderstorm near Sawyer, with wind gusts up to 40 mph and nickel-sized hail, potentially impacting locations like Ord and Fort Towson.
In North Texas, a Flood Watch remains in effect for counties like Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant, where excessive rainfall may lead to flooding of rivers, creeks, and low-lying areas. Rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches, with isolated higher amounts up to 4 inches, are expected, posing risks to urban areas and poor-drainage locations.
Moving to Montana, the NWS Great Falls issued Winter Weather Advisories for various counties, including Glacier and Pondera, where freezing rain, light snow, and ice accumulations are forecasted. Roads, bridges, and overpasses are likely to become slick and hazardous, with minor ice accumulations on power lines and tree branches.
Additionally, a Dense Fog Advisory was issued in west central Florida by the NWS Tampa Bay Ruskin, warning of visibility one quarter mile or less in dense fog until 9 AM EST. Low visibility could create hazardous driving conditions, emphasizing the need for caution on the roads.
As these weather events unfold, it is crucial for residents in affected areas to stay informed, follow safety guidelines, and heed warnings from local authorities. By being prepared and taking necessary precautions, individuals can mitigate risks and ensure their well-being during severe weather conditions.
