Freeze Watches, Warnings Up for Much of the Area
This season, we'll just skip right past the first frost and dive into the first freeze of the year. Cooler, almost-seasonal air is in place over the area. High pressure centering itself over the Southern Apps will allow for great radiational cooling conditions...clear skies, light winds, and dry air. Temperatures will dive into the upper 20's to lower 30's across valley locations...and as low as the middle 20's in mountainous areas. That's for tonight...tomorrow night could get just as cool...though I expect temperatures to be a degree or two warmer. However, that still leaves us quite frosty...with area-wide upper 20's to lower 30's likely. Bringing in or covering tender vegetation is suggested. Also, if possible, allowing your pets inside for the night is good idea.
Shortened advisories from NWS offices are below.
