A round of freezing temperatures as low as 25 is expected Thursday morning in Russell, Lincoln, Barton, Ellsworth, Rice and Reno counties. The Freeze Warning is in effect from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. Thursday.
Frost and freeze conditions will kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.
Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-ground pipes to protect them from freezing.
