In South Dakota, a fast-moving cold front has prompted a Special Weather Statement issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) in Rapid City.

On the East Coast, a Special Weather Statement from the NWS in Upton, NY, warns of strong thunderstorms with winds exceeding 30 mph. Areas such as Newark, Jersey City, and Paterson may experience gusty winds that could lead to tree limb damage and the blowing around of unsecured objects. This highlights the importance of securing outdoor items during severe weather events.

In California, a Frost Advisory has been issued for Southern Trinity, with temperatures as low as 33 degrees potentially causing harm to sensitive outdoor vegetation. Residents are advised to cover or bring in sensitive plants to prevent damage from frost.
