It could be the coldest night in Acadiana since our last freeze (31-on February 12)…The National Weather Service has issued a Freeze Warning for the I-10 parishes and points to the north. Freeze warnings are generally issued when the first growing season killing frost or freeze is expected. Light north winds may keep radiational cooling from being maximized, but do expect temperatures to be near or slightly below freezing from about 4:00am through 8:00am. This won’t be a pipe busting cold, but protection for tropical plants and pets is suggested. Indoors, be careful with space heaters and make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector in your home. Invariably we report on a number of fatal home fires/and carbon monoxide poisonings every winter and it would be great if we didn’t get any of those stories this year. It should warm-up nicely for mid-late week with highs reaching the 70s for Thanksgiving and approaching 80 degrees this weekend. Next chance of rain should come by mid-next week.
Freezing for Some Tonight
