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

... Freeze warning remains in effect from midnight tonight to 9 am
CST Sunday...

* timing... temperatures will fall into the upper 20s with sub
freezing temperatures for a few hours.

* Temperature... low temperatures between 28 and 32 degrees can
be expected from midnight to mid-morning Sunday.

* Impacts... sensitive plants... particularly those that have
bloomed or emerged prematurely... are at risk of damage or
being 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 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.
