...Hard Freeze Expected Tonight...
...Elevated Fire Danger Tuesday...
Very cold and dry surface high pressure will allow temperatures
to drop into the middle and upper 20s throughout the Quad State
tonight. Some more sheltered areas could even drop into the lower
20s.
Although the growing season has not officially started, tender
vegetation could be impacted by these cold temperatures. Please
take necessary actions to protect any tender vegetation tonight.
Southwest winds will increase significantly Tuesday morning, with
gusts of 25 to 40 mph forecast in the afternoon. Along with
relative humidity values falling into the 25 to 30 percent range,
these gusty winds will create an elevated fire danger throughout
the Quad State.
If you are planning outdoor burning Tuesday, use extra caution
and have fire suppression equipment ready.
