Low water advisories have also been issued for several bays in Texas and Louisiana, as stiff north winds will push water out to the Gulf. Small craft advisories are also in effect along the Gulf Coast.
On Thursday, high winds across the Central Plains and eastern Texas resulted in the death of a boy, more than 300,000 power outages and several flight delays.
The winds are in the wake of a powerful storm system that has been crossing the country this week, creating severe weather across the South.
