As severe weather patterns continue to impact various regions of the United States, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a series of alerts warning residents about potential hazards. From thunderstorms to high surf, freeze conditions, and snow, the diverse weather events are a reminder of the ever-changing nature of our climate.
In Florida, a Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued by the NWS Tallahassee, with damaging winds of up to 60 mph expected to affect areas such as Vernon, Live Oak, and Ebro.

On the East Coast, a High Surf Advisory has been issued for Eastern Currituck County in North Carolina and Virginia Beach, Virginia. Large breaking waves of 8 to 11 feet are anticipated, leading to dangerous swimming and surfing conditions as well as localized beach erosion.

In Colorado, a Freeze Watch has been issued for Baca County and the Canon City Vicinity/Eastern Fremont County, with sub-freezing temperatures as low as 15 degrees expected.
