National Weather Service Issues Freeze Warning Monday Night

With clear skies and temperatures expected to drop into the low to mid 20s Monday night the National Weather Service has issued a Freeze Warning for all of Western Kentucky.

The freeze warning will be in effect from 9:00 Monday night until 9:00 Tuesday morning. The National Weather Service says temperatures drop as low as 23 degrees across the region.

The freezing temperatures combined with frost could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation, and possible damage unprotected outdoor plumbing. This freeze will effectively end the growing season across Western Kentucky.

The National Weather Service is advising people to take steps to protect tender plants from the cold.
