A Freeze Warning remains in effect for Benton, Carroll, Madison, and Washington counties in Arkansas until 8 AM CST this morning. The National Weather Service reports sub-freezing temperatures as low as the upper 20s. These conditions can severely harm plants and other sensitive vegetation.
Act now to protect your garden and home. Move potted plants indoors, if possible. For outdoor plants, cover them with frost blankets, sheets, or even towels. Secure the coverings to ensure they stay in place overnight. If you have a garden, water your soil thoroughly as moist soil retains heat better than dry soil.
This cold spell is expected to linger through early morning, so take precautions immediately. Additionally, ensure your outdoor pets have proper shelter from the freezing temperatures. Frozen pipes can also occur in extreme cold. Let faucets drip slightly to prevent freezing.
This alert includes cities like Rogers, Fayetteville, Eureka Springs, and Springdale. Sub-freezing weather impacts both homes and vegetation. Stay informed and act promptly to minimize damage. For the latest weather updates, visit the National Weather Service or your local news outlet. Your quick actions can help safeguard your plants and property during this weather event.
