In Virginia, a Beach Hazards Statement has been issued for the Maryland Beaches, warning of large breaking waves of 7 to 10 feet in the surf zone and a high risk of rip currents. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions, as well as localized beach erosion, are expected through this evening. Additionally, a High Surf Advisory is in place until 6 AM EDT early this morning.
Air quality alerts have also been issued in various states, including Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Ozone action days have been declared in several counties, urging the public to take actions to reduce ozone-forming emissions. Recommendations include walking, biking, carpooling, using public transportation, avoiding idling vehicles, and conserving energy to help minimize air pollution and protect public health.
As these weather-related alerts continue to be issued, it is essential for individuals to stay informed, follow safety guidelines, and take proactive measures to mitigate risks associated with severe weather events.
