In the Southeast, a Special Weather Statement has been issued for areas near Hickory, North Carolina, warning of a strong thunderstorm moving northeast with wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail. The storm could potentially knock down tree limbs and cause minor damage to outdoor objects. Additionally, a Freeze Watch is in effect for parts of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, with sub-freezing temperatures expected to impact crops and sensitive vegetation.
In Louisiana, a Red Flag Warning has been issued due to elevated fire weather conditions caused by dry air and strong winds.

This warning is in effect through Wednesday, highlighting the ongoing concern for fire safety in the area.
Further north, Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings have been issued for portions of Virginia and West Virginia, where snow accumulations of 2 to 7 inches are expected.

Following safety guidelines, such as securing outdoor objects, protecting sensitive vegetation, and avoiding outdoor burning, can help mitigate risks associated with severe weather conditions. By staying alert and heeding the advice of local authorities, individuals can navigate these challenging weather patterns with greater resilience and safety.
