FREEZE WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING

According to the weather service, sub-freezing temperatures as low as 28 degrees will be possible in all of northern Missouri, north of Highway 36. Frost and freezing conditions could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation. The weather service advises residents to take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes, they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-ground pipes to protect them from freezing.
