**A Freeze Warning is in effect for tonight and Wednesday night**.

Freeze Warning in effect for both Tuesday night and Wednesday night. Widespread freeze conditions will kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing. The upcoming cold nights will be more impactful than usually for late April given the early green up this season. 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.
