Strong winds will develop behind a strong cold front this morning. A Wind Advisory has been issued for locations generally along and south of the I-10/I-12 corridor. Additionally, offshore, a Gale Warning has also been issued for the Gulf waters as well as the local sounds and tidal lakes.
A Red Flag Warning is in effect today from 1PM to 7PM as windy and dry conditions following the frontal boundary cause potentially critical fire weather conditions.
A late-season freeze is becoming more likely tonight into Tuesday morning, and a Freeze Watch is still in effect. Late season freezes can be especially damaging to crops and other sensitive vegetation. Now is the time to prepare to protect any plants that may be damaged by a freeze.
