... Hard freeze warning in effect from 10 PM this evening to 9 am

The National Weather Service in Lake Charles has issued a hard
freeze warning... which is in effect from 10 PM this evening to
9 am CST Sunday.

* Temperature... around freezing by late Saturday evening falling
to the mid 20s by sunrise Sunday morning... then above freezing by
Sunday mid-morning.

* Duration... below freezing for 8 to 11 hours and at or below 27
degrees for 3 to 4 hours.

* Impacts... harm or killing of sensitive and tender vegetation
that has started to Bud. Some exposed pipes may be susceptible
to freezing and should be protected. Pets should have warm
shelter or brought inside.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A hard freeze warning means temperatures in the mid 20s or colder
are imminent or highly likely. These conditions will kill crops
and other sensitive vegetation.

Be careful heating your home. Keep space heaters at least
36 inches away from anything that can burn. Turn it off anytime
you leave the room or go to bed.

To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water
pipes... pipes should be wrapped or drained.
