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.
Special Weather Statement
WIDESPREAD FROST AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING...
A strong and unseasonably cold weather system will affect the region this weekend. For tonight and Saturday morning, periods of rain and snow showers are expected. The highest chances of snow showers will be late tonight and early Saturday morning. These snow showers will likely persist into the early afternoon hours on Saturday. Surface temperatures overnight and Saturday morning are expected to remain above freezing. However, within heavier snow showers, a quick slushy accumulation will be possible. These snow showers may result in slick spots on area roadways overnight and Saturday morning. Motorists traveling overnight should exercise caution, especially on bridges and overpasses.
Precipitation will diminish through the afternoon hours on Saturday and then skies are expected to clear. This combination of clear skies and light winds will likely result in widespread frost development late Saturday night and Sunday morning. Temperatures Sunday morning are expected to dip into the upper 20s. A Freeze watch is in effect for much of the area. This freeze watch may be updated to a freeze warning sometime on Saturday.
Stay tuned to NOAA weather radio and your local media for the latest updates.
