In Alaska, the National Weather Service (NWS) in Fairbanks issued a Special Weather Statement on November 22, warning of ongoing snow showers in the central and eastern Interior. While most snowfall has been light, additional quick bursts of snow are expected, with accumulations of 1 to 2 inches through the night. Colder and drier conditions are forecasted for the upcoming week, bringing below-normal temperatures.
On the West Coast, NWS Eureka CA issued a Beach Hazards Statement for coastal areas in Del Norte, Humboldt, and Mendocino Counties due to an increased threat of sneaker waves. These large, unexpected waves can pose dangers to beachgoers, sweeping them into the sea or moving large objects like logs. The advisory is in effect until Sunday evening, emphasizing the need for caution along the coastline.
In Texas, NWS Anchorage AK issued a Dense Fog Advisory for Anchorage, warning of visibility dropping to one quarter mile or less. Hazardous driving conditions are expected due to the low visibility, with fog becoming more widespread and drifting south and east through the evening. The advisory is in effect until Sunday afternoon, urging drivers to exercise caution on the roads.
Additionally, flood advisories were issued in South Texas by NWS Corpus Christi and NWS Brownsville, with heavy rain causing minor flooding in some areas. While the flood advisories have since expired, residents are advised to remain vigilant and heed any remaining road closures to ensure their safety.
As weather patterns continue to shift and intensify, it is crucial for individuals to stay informed about local alerts and take appropriate measures to protect themselves and their communities. By following the guidance of meteorological agencies and preparing for potential hazards, residents can mitigate risks and stay safe during extreme weather events.
