Hard Freeze Warning
Statement as of 12:05 PM CST on February 11, 2012

... Hard freeze warning remains in effect from 9 PM this evening
to 9 am CST Sunday...

* timing... approximately 12 hours of sub freezing temperatures
can be expected with lows in the lower to mid 20s.

* Temperature... minimum temperatures between 23 and 26 degrees
can be expected for durations of 2 to 5 hours.

* Impacts... many sensitive plants that have prematurely bloomed
or emerged will be damaged or killed if not properly
protected. Very dry air with low humidity levels will also
pose a higher than usual fire risk... particularly with the use
of heaters.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A hard freeze warning means sub-freezing temperatures are
imminent or highly likely. These conditions will kill crops and
other sensitive vegetation.

Pets are also subject to the extreme cold. Keep pets indoors as
much as possible. If this is not possible... make sure outdoor
pets have warm dry shelter... and provide sufficient food and
fresh unfrozen water.

Be particularly careful with portable heaters... there is a
danger of fire or poisonous fumes.
