...LOW TEMPERATURES AROUND FREEZING FOR VALLEYS FRIDAY MORNING...
IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT THAT PASSED THROUGH THE REGION
WEDNESDAY...AN AREA OF COLD HIGH PRESSURE HAS SETTLED INTO THE
REGION. LINGERING MOISTURE ALONG WITH LOW TEMPERATURES 5 TO 10
DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE WILL ALLOW FOR SOME PATCHY FROST IN THE
SIERRA VALLEYS OF EASTERN CALIFORNIA...AS WELL AS SOME OF THE
COLDER VALLEYS OF WESTERN NEVADA.
LOW TEMPERATURES IN MANY VALLEYS AROUND THE REGION WILL FALL INTO
THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S FOR A FEW HOURS EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.
ALTHOUGH RENO SHOULD REMAIN WELL ABOVE FREEZING...OUTLYING VALLEYS
MAY EXPERIENCE NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITH LIGHT FROST.
THOSE WITH SENSITIVE OUTDOOR PLANTS SHOULD CONSIDER COVERING THEM
OR...IF POSSIBLE...MOVE THE PLANTS INDOORS. IF YOU HAVE AN
OUTDOOR PET KEEP IN MIND THAT FRIDAY MORNING WILL FEEL MORE
TYPICAL OF EARLY OCTOBER AND TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS.
