As weather patterns continue to shift and intensify globally, recent alerts issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) highlight the diverse challenges faced by different regions. From freeze warnings impacting parts of West Virginia to coastal flood advisories in Florida and the Pacific, communities are urged to stay vigilant and prepare for potential impacts.
In West Virginia, a Freeze Warning has been issued for several counties, including Northwest Pocahontas, Northwest Randolph, Southeast Pocahontas, and Southeast Randolph. Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 31 degrees are expected from 2 AM to 9 AM EDT on Friday.

Simultaneously, a Frost Advisory has been issued for areas such as Northwest Webster, Southeast Webster, Barbour, Upshur, Northwest Nicholas, Southeast Fayette, and Southeast Nicholas counties in West Virginia. Temperatures in the lower to middle 30s are anticipated, leading to frost formation that could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation if left uncovered.
