As winter approaches, various weather advisories and warnings have been issued across the United States, highlighting the diverse and dynamic nature of weather patterns. From frost advisories to flood warnings, these alerts serve as crucial reminders of the impact weather can have on our daily lives.
In the Mid-Atlantic region, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued Frost Advisories for multiple counties in Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina. Temperatures as low as 34 degrees Fahrenheit are expected, leading to frost formation. Sensitive outdoor vegetation may be harmed or killed if left uncovered. Residents are advised to take precautions to protect their plants and crops during this period. The advisory is in effect from 1 AM to 8 AM EST on Friday, November 7th.

On the other side of the country, in Washington state, a Flood Warning has been issued for the Skokomish River at Potlatch, affecting Mason County. Heavy rainfall has caused the river to rise above flood stage, resulting in minor to moderate flooding. Some residential areas, roads, and farmland in the Skokomish Valley are expected to be inundated. The river levels are forecasted to fluctuate over the next few days, with the potential for further flooding. Residents in the affected areas should stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. [NWS Seattle WA]
In the Pacific region, a High Surf Advisory and Rip Current Statement have been issued for Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan. Large breaking waves of 9 to 11 feet in the surf zone, dangerous rip currents, and isolated minor coastal flooding are expected. These conditions are a result of Tropical Storm Fung-wong moving west-northwest of Guam. Swimmers, surfers, and beachgoers are urged to exercise caution and avoid entering the water during this period. Minor beach erosion may occur along certain reefs due to elevated tides and wind-driven waves. [NWS Tiyan GU]
