As winter approaches, various regions in the United States are facing severe weather conditions, prompting the issuance of multiple weather advisories. From heavy snowfall to urban flooding and high winds, residents in different states are urged to exercise caution and prepare for potentially hazardous conditions.
In Michigan, a Winter Storm Warning has been issued for Delta, Luce, Northern Schoolcraft, and Southern Schoolcraft Counties. Heavy snowfall, with accumulations ranging from 3 to 11 inches, is expected, accompanied by gusty winds reaching up to 45 mph. The hazardous conditions are likely to impact travel, with reduced visibility and the potential for downed tree branches affecting Wednesday evening and Thanksgiving morning commutes.
In Florida, a Flood Advisory has been issued for Bay County due to heavy rainfall causing urban and poor drainage flooding. Locations such as Panama City, Lynn Haven, and Panama City Beach are at risk of minor flooding in low-lying areas, with ponding of water in urban spaces. The advisory warns of potential impacts on roadways and properties, urging residents to stay vigilant.
Meanwhile, in New York, a Wind Advisory is in effect for Oswego and Jefferson Counties, with southwest winds of 25 to 35 mph and gusts up to 50 mph expected.

Additionally, Erie and Chautauqua Counties in New York are under a Lakeshore Flood Advisory, with minor lakeshore flooding anticipated. Water levels are expected to rise along the lakeshore, potentially impacting low-lying roads and properties. High waves and onshore winds may lead to spray affecting Route 5 in Hamburg and areas around Buffalo Harbor.
In Pennsylvania, a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Cameron, Elk, and Potter Counties, warning of lake-effect snow and total accumulations of 3 to 5 inches, with locally higher amounts possible.
