As the seasons transition from summer to fall, various weather alerts have been issued across different regions of the United States. From frost and freeze warnings to coastal flood statements, residents are urged to take precautions to ensure their safety and protect sensitive vegetation.
In the Northern Outer Banks beaches, a Beach Hazards Statement has been issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) Newport/Morehead City NC.

In Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, Frost and Freeze Advisories have been issued by the NWS Baltimore MD/Washington DC. Temperatures as low as 33 degrees could result in frost formation, potentially harming sensitive outdoor vegetation.

In Idaho, a Frost Advisory has been issued for Lower Treasure Valley Zones by the NWS Boise ID. Temperatures ranging from 33 to 36 degrees could lead to frost formation, posing risks to sensitive outdoor plants if left uncovered.
Additionally, a Coastal Flood Statement has been issued for the Florida Keys by the NWS Key West FL. Minor saltwater flooding is expected, impacting low elevation streets and lots. Boaters are advised to be cautious as some storm drains may overflow, and seawalls and docks could be overtopped.
