Don’t Be Surprised by Snow on the Ground Tomorrow

Expect rain showers before 4am, then rain, possibly mixed with snow showers. Low around 34. West wind 9 to 14 mph becoming northwest after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

There is a freeze watch for Wednesday night into Thursday.  Temperatures could drop into the high 30’s. Freeze conditions could kill sensitive vegetation and
possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.

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.
