Meanwhile, in Michigan, a Dense Fog Advisory was issued for Keweenaw and Northern Houghton Counties, warning of visibility reduced to 1/4 mile or less. The advisory, in effect until 9 AM EDT, cautioned drivers about hazardous road conditions due to low visibility.
On the East Coast, specifically in Florida, a Rip Current Statement was issued for beaches in Volusia, Brevard, Indian River, Saint Lucie, and Martin Counties. The statement highlighted dangerous rip currents and rough surf, emphasizing the risk they pose to swimmers and surfers.
In North Carolina, a Beach Hazards Statement and a Coastal Flood Advisory were issued for Coastal Pender, Coastal New Hanover Counties, and the lower Cape Fear River. These advisories warned of strong longshore currents, moderate rip currents, and minor coastal flooding, urging residents to be cautious near shorelines and tidal waterways.

With climate change exacerbating extreme weather patterns, it is crucial for individuals and communities to heed warnings from meteorological agencies and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
