Overview
- The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for Saturday 6 a.m.–6 p.m. and a freeze warning for Saturday 6 p.m.–Sunday 9 a.m. covering Coffee, Dale, Henry, Geneva and Houston counties.
- Gusty winds are expected to create difficult driving conditions, particularly for high‑profile vehicles, and motorists are advised to use extra caution.
- To reduce freeze damage, officials recommend wrapping, draining or allowing outdoor water lines to drip slowly and draining in‑ground sprinkler systems while covering exposed piping.
- Residents are advised to keep pets indoors, provide outdoor animals with warm shelter, food and unfrozen water, check on older neighbors, and use portable heaters safely while never operating generators or grills indoors.
- The weather service reminds the public of its high‑wind alert tiers—high wind warning, wind advisory and high wind watch—which outline progressively stronger winds and corresponding protective actions.
