The National Weather Service declared a freeze warning for the South Central Oregon Coast on Tuesday at 1:01 p.m., which would last until Wednesday between 2 and 8 a.m.
“Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 28 degrees are expected along the coast with colder temperatures inland,” according to the weather agency.
“Those who have respiratory disorders may experience complications as a result of poor air quality. According to the weather service, frost and freeze conditions have the potential to destroy crops and other delicate vegetation as well as harm exposed outdoor plumbing. “Take action right away to shield delicate plants from the cold. When it comes to handling high levels of air pollution during periods of stagnant air, people with respiratory illnesses should heed their doctors’ instructions.
Freeze watch or warning – this is what it means
Freeze warnings are in effect from May through October (though they may be extended if needed), during which time low temperatures of 29 to 32 degrees are predicted. A freeze watch might be issued a few days in advance if temperatures have the potential to drop below these criteria.
The weather service says there isn’t much you can do to preserve plants if your location is under a freeze warning or watch. Depending on the severity of the weather, the freeze may probably kill your sensitive plants, so if you can relocate them inside, do so.
United Robots offers a service called Advance Local Weather Alerts that gathers the most recent information from the National Weather Service using machine learning.
