The National Weather Service issued a revised freeze warning for the South Central Oregon Coast on Thursday at 9:06 a.m., which is in effect for Friday from 2 to 9 a.m.
According to the weather service, “Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 30 degrees expected.”
“Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing,” according to the weather service. “Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold.”
What to do if there is a freeze watch or warning
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.
