The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple warnings, including Wind Advisory, Freeze Watch, High Wind Warning, Flash Flood Warning, Coastal Flood Statement, Dense Fog Advisory, and Flood Warning in various states.
In New Mexico and Texas, a Wind Advisory has been issued, with north winds reaching 25 to 30 mph and gusts up to 45 mph. Additionally, a Freeze Watch is in effect, warning of sub-freezing temperatures as low as 25 degrees, which could harm crops and sensitive vegetation. The impacts include potential damage to outdoor plumbing and unsecured objects being blown around by gusty winds.
In the Guadalupe Mountains of west Texas and Southeast New Mexico, a High Wind Warning has been issued, with northeast winds expected to reach 35 to 45 mph and gusts up to 55 mph. Similar to the other warnings, a Freeze Watch is also in effect, with sub-freezing temperatures as low as 28 degrees.

In Florida, a Coastal Flood Statement has been released for the Florida Keys, warning of minor saltwater flooding, overflowing storm drains, and overtopped seawalls and docks. Motorists and boaters are advised to exercise caution due to the potential for flooded streets and reduced clearance under fixed bridges.
Moreover, a Dense Fog Advisory has been issued in California’s Caruthers, Fresno, Merced, and Planada areas, with visibility reduced to one quarter mile or less. Hazardous driving conditions are expected until 10 AM PDT.
Lastly, a Flood Warning has been issued for the St. Johns River near Astor in Florida, with minor flooding occurring and moderate flooding forecasted. The river is expected to remain above flood stage, potentially affecting homes and roads in the area.
