As winter approaches, the United States is experiencing a variety of severe weather conditions, prompting multiple advisories from the National Weather Service (NWS) in different regions. From wind advisories to snow warnings and flood alerts, Americans are urged to exercise caution and stay informed about the changing weather patterns.
In California, a Wind Advisory has been issued by the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA for the Santa Lucia Mountains. Northeast winds of 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph are expected until 9 AM PST, potentially causing unsecured objects to be blown around, tree limbs to fall, and power outages in some areas.
In Minnesota and Wisconsin, Winter Weather and Winter Storm Advisories have been issued by the NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN. Snowfall is expected to continue, with additional accumulations of 1 to 2 inches. Strong northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph may lead to blowing snow, impacting road conditions and visibility during the morning commute.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a Flood Advisory has been issued by the NWS Corpus Christi TX for Kleberg, Nueces, and San Patricio counties. Excessive rainfall is expected to cause minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas, affecting cities like Corpus Christi, Portland, and Robstown.
In Indiana, a Special Weather Statement from the NWS Indianapolis IN warns of robust westerly winds gusting to 30 to 40 mph across certain regions, potentially blowing around unsecured objects and outdoor decorations.
