The southern U.S. is expected to face heightened risks of extreme rainfall, flooding, and severe thunderstorms, including damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes. Coastal areas, such as Florida and the Gulf Coast, may experience increased flooding, especially during high tides. Seasonal residents and tourists in RV parks, retirement communities, and coastal rentals could face disruptions to travel and outdoor activities. The elevated risk of severe weather may also challenge communities unaccustomed to such conditions, particularly during the winter months.
