Freeze Warning Update

Tuesday, April 5, 2016 - 6:48pm

Tonight temperatures are expected to get very close to freezing. As you can see from the title picture of this blog the temperature at 6am is going to be in the low 30's around the county. Let's take a look at a timeline hour by hour of what to expect overnight with temperatures.

Time  Temperature
12am 43º
1am 41º
2am 39º
3am 38º
4am 37º
5am 36º
6am 35º
7am 34º

 

As you can see the coldest temperatures will be in the morning as we all head out to work and school. Be sure to bundle up and get your kids bundled up as well. 

Things to prepare

  • make sure your outdoor pets have a warm area to sleep in tonight. Bring them in if possible.
  • check on elderly neighbors or relatives to ensure they are warm
  • bring your plants up close to your home as the area around your home will keep them warm
  • if you wrap plants wrap them in cloth or fabric. do not use plastic as plastic could burn the plant when the sun rises.
  • if you can't wrap plants or bring them close to your home. Go outside and water them now so they can get a thin layer of ice on them. This will actually protect the plant and keep it warm.

I will make one more update later tonight about how the temperatures are moderating but as for now it is very likely will will at least get very close to the freezing mark overnight tonight. As always thank you for following Rowan County Weather!
