As families across the United States prepare for Thanksgiving celebrations, several regions are facing severe weather conditions that could impact holiday travel and festivities. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple weather advisories, including Lake Effect Snow Warnings, Wind Advisories, Winter Weather Advisories, Freeze Warnings, and High Surf Advisories in various states.
In New York, the NWS Buffalo has issued a Lake Effect Snow Warning for Oswego County, with heavy snowfall expected to accumulate between 8 to 14 inches, particularly in the Tug Hill Plateau and southern Oswego County. Gusty winds up to 50 mph are anticipated, leading to blowing and drifting snow, making travel extremely difficult and hazardous.
Similarly, the NWS Binghamton has issued several Winter Weather Advisories and Lake Effect Snow Warnings for Steuben County, Chenango, Cortland, Otsego, and Southern Cayuga Counties, as well as Madison, Northern Oneida, Onondaga, and Southern Oneida Counties. These advisories warn of total snow accumulations ranging from 3 to 7 inches, with gusty winds causing slippery road conditions and impacting Thanksgiving holiday travel.
In Michigan, the NWS Grand Rapids has issued a Wind Advisory for Allegan, Ottawa, Van Buren, Mason, Muskegon, and Oceana Counties, with northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph and gusts up to 45 mph. The advisory cautions of potential power outages and falling tree limbs due to the strong winds.
Furthermore, the NWS Jacksonville in Florida has issued a Freeze Warning for portions of northeast and northern Florida and southeast Georgia, with sub-freezing temperatures as low as 29 degrees expected. The warning emphasizes the need to protect tender vegetation, outdoor pets, and vulnerable populations from the cold.
Lastly, in Hawaii, the NWS Honolulu has issued a High Surf Advisory for north and west-facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, and north-facing shores of Maui, warning of large breaking waves up to 18 to 22 feet and strong currents that could pose dangers to swimmers.
