Cold Snap Hits Yakima Valley With Freeze Warning Tonight

Remember when it was over 100 degrees not even 2 months ago and everyone was wishing it was colder?

Apparently, all those wishes are coming true all at once.

The National Weather Service has announced a freeze warning for many areas of Washington and Oregon, including the entire Yakima Valley.

Temps Below Freezing Tonight through Tomorrow Morning

This freeze warning is scheduled from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m.

In our agricultural area, sudden freezing temperatures could be dangerous to our crops and vegetation.

Other areas that have freeze warnings include the Columbia Basin both in Washington and Oregon and it includes these specific cities.

How Cold is Cold?

With this freeze and frost could cause havoc to crops and more including unprotected outdoor plumbing.

Do what you need to do to protect your crops and your kids.

Anything it takes to protect your plant and your place.

If you have an old school house where you have to put up the extra window panes, go for it.

If you haven't turned on your heater, yet, this season, do it now to make sure it's working properly.

Break out the big blankets you reserve for the middle of winter because, there's no doubt about it, it's about to get very cold.

There may be more freezing temperatures later this week as well with Saturday having a chance of rain.
