Freeze Watch Upgraded to Freeze Warning for Tonight Through Early Sunday Morning
NWS Birmingham and NWS Huntsville have upgraded the Freeze Watch to a Freeze Warning for all of their county warning areas. The warning goes into effect tonight at 9 pm and is set to expire at 8 am Sunday morning. Temperatures are expected to drop into the 29 to 32-degree range between those hours that the warning is in effect.
Frost and freeze conditions will kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing. Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-ground pipes to protect them from freezing.
