Freezing temperatures pose risks to sensitive vegetation, outdoor plumbing, and irrigation systems. A hard freeze, with temperatures below 28 °F (-2 °C) for prolonged periods, can end the growing season for many plants and cause significant damage to exposed equipment. Rural and low-lying areas may experience colder conditions than forecasted, increasing the likelihood of frost and freeze impacts. Residents should monitor updates and take precautions to mitigate potential damage.
