A Freeze Warning is in effect from 11 PM this evening until 9 AM PDT Thursday. Sub-freezing temperatures between 27 to 31 degrees are likely during this time.

The affected areas include Oregon’s Lower Columbia Basin, John Day Basin, Foothills of the Northern Blue Mountains, Foothills of the Southern Blue Mountains, and North Central Oregon. In Washington, the warning includes Kittitas Valley, Yakima Valley, Lower Columbia Basin, Foothills of the Blue Mountains, and Simcoe Highlands.

Frost and freeze conditions pose risks to crops, sensitive vegetation, and outdoor plumbing that is left unprotected. These conditions have the potential to cause significant damage.

It is important to take precautions to protect tender plants from the cold. Outdoor water pipes should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly to prevent freezing and potential bursting. For those with in-ground sprinkler systems, draining them and covering above-ground pipes will help safeguard them from freezing.

Additional measures may be necessary to safeguard other vulnerable outdoor structures and equipment from the freezing temperatures.

Stay informed and follow any additional guidance or warnings issued by local authorities or weather services. Taking proactive steps now can help mitigate the impact of the sub-freezing temperatures and protect your property.
