The National Weather Service in Birmingham has issued a hard
freeze warning... which is in effect from midnight tonight to 9 am
CST Sunday.

* Temperature... tonight into Sunday morning lows will drop into
the mid teens and lower 20s area wide. The coldest locations
will be across the north.

* Impacts... due to the warmer temperatures in the area over the
past few weeks... many plants have already started blooming and
these temperatures could have devastating impacts to vegetation.
Below freezing temperatures may last as long as 24 hours north
and 12 hours south.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A hard freeze warning means temperatures will be cold enough to
cause exposed pipes to freeze and possibly burst. Please take the
necessary precautions to protect any sensitive plants at your
home or business. Also... take the time to protect exposed pipes
from the cold.
