Frost/Freeze Likely Next 2 Nights

Fair Weather: Freeze by Night, Fire Risk by Day

Weather Observers Needed!

Daily Weather Summary

A Freeze Warning is in effect from 1 AM to 10 AM Tuesday for all areas where the growing season has begun. Lows in the mid 20s to low 30s in much of this area will result in frost/freeze conditions which could harm or kill vulnerable vegetation and damage outdoor plumbing. Please take steps to protect vegetation and outdoor plumbing from the cold. Frost/freeze conditions are even more likely late Tursday night into Wednesday morning.

In addition to the frost/freeze potential tonight and a hard freeze Tuesday night, there is an increased fire potential each day the balance of the work week due to low afternoon relative humidity, and dry and somewhat breezy conditions. A warming trend does commence during the day on Wednesday, and the next chance for rain is not until at least Friday night, when a weak cold front makes a feeble attempt to impede the warming trend.

Volunteer weather observers are needed with the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS). Sign up for a virtual training webinar presented by the NWS on Wednesday, April 8th from 7-8 PM EDT, or look over training resources on the www.cocorahs.org website.
