As the United States grapples with a barrage of winter adversities, residents in Alabama are bracing for persistent flooding with the Tombigbee River near Leroy and Coffeeville swelling beyond its banks; warnings from the National Weather Service in Mobile signal that the rising waters are a menacing presence until at least January 26. Meanwhile, the cold front sweeping across the nation has not spared Tennessee, where the Buttahatchie River's banks are brimming, prompting flood warnings through January 28. The snowstorm, a relentless force, has left a blanket of disruption from Philadelphia to Maryland, with road restrictions and power outages in its wake. Oklahoma's snowy aftermath sees hazardous roads persisting, while record snowfall has brought Kansas City's airport to a standstill and left communities measuring inches in awe. Amid this frigid turmoil, Philadelphia and the Tri-State area reckon with significant accumulations, and Ohio, under the heavy cloak of winter, tallies snow totals with cautious eyes on road conditions. In the west, Los Angeles faces the dual threat of recovering from recent wildfires as new blazes ignite, exposing vulnerabilities in the ever-persistent battle with nature's fickle temperament. This symphony of climatic challenges underscores a nation in the throes of winter's might, with communities united in resilience against the elements' relentless overture.
In the current overview of the nation's dams and reservoirs, we observe a complex tapestry of water levels that reflect the diverse hydrological conditions across the country. While some regions are experiencing a surplus of water, others are facing concerning deficits. For example, Lake Powell in Arizona, a critical resource in the Colorado River basin, has storage levels significantly below average, sitting at 6,228,813 acre-ft compared to its average of 14,677,394.5 acre-ft. This reduction is indicative of the prolonged drought ...
Today's wildfire threat assessment brings to light a mix of minimal and active behavior across different regions in the United States. The Havasu fire, located 21 miles northwest of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, is currently showing minimal fire activity with an estimated 3,868 acres affected. The cause has been determined to be human-related. Mitigation strategies are likely in place to control and prevent the spread of the fire, protecting the nearby communities and natural landscapes. On the other hand, the ...
As winter persists with its cold embrace, snow enthusiasts and researchers alike will find the latest snowfall data to be a mix of subtle dustings and promising forecasts across the nation. Over the past 24 hours, the Nohrsc Sawmill Ridge in Washington and Nohrsc Vallecito in Colorado have both seen a modest accumulation of 2 inches, with bases of 170 inches and 3 inches respectively. Though these figures might not send powder-hounds racing to the slopes, the weather patterns suggest ...
Avalanche conditions in the United States have prompted warnings across several states, with a range of advisories from low danger to high. Recreationalists, travellers, and residents near mountainous regions should exercise caution, especially those in Colorado where the Colorado Avalanche Information Center has issued a "high" danger level, indicating very dangerous avalanche conditions and recommending against travel in avalanche terrain. Conversely, areas such as California's Bridgeport, Wyoming's Salt River and Snake River Ranges, and Oregon’s Central Cascades are seeing "low" ...
Severe flooding has hit different regions across the nation, causing widespread disruption and posing an imminent threat to numerous communities. Current observations indicate that the normally placid Shoshone River is now flowing at a stunning 703.67% above its average, resulting in an alarming situation for nearby towns. The Tombigbee River, which includes the Middle Tombigbee-Lubbub and Middle Tombigbee-Chickasaw watersheds, has also seen a significant drop in streamflow to just 33.94% of normal, potentially hinting at drastic shifts in water levels ...
In the world of winter sports, fresh snowfall is always a herald of excitement. Over the past 24 hours, Washington's ski enthusiasts have a reason to smile with Nohrsc Sawmill Ridge receiving 2 inches atop its 170-inch base, despite the haze and slight chance of thunderstorms in the forecast. Colorado, known for its pristine slopes, showed a modest addition at Nohrsc Vallecito, also with 2 inches of new snowfall. While the base is only 3 inches, the weather pattern suggests ...
Nationwide, river enthusiasts and water management experts are seeing a diverse range of streamflow conditions across the country's rivers, with some experiencing high flows and others reflecting drought conditions. In the heartland, the mighty Ohio River at Old Shawneetown, along the Illinois-Kentucky border, is making headlines with a significant streamflow of 259,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The sunny weather is giving way to a chance of thunderstorms which could further impact streamflow. A visit to the St. Johns River ...
