Update: The freeze warning for Northern California is anticipated to expire at 10 a.m.

Published Mar 20, 2025

The warning was active for Northwestern Mendocino Interior, Northeastern Mendocino Interior and Northern Lake County.

“The threat has ended,” says the National Weather Service.

What to do if there is a freeze watch or warning

Freeze warnings are issued from May to October (but can be extended if necessary), when low temperatures are expected to be 29-32 degrees. If there is a potential for temperatures to fall into these thresholds, a freeze watch may be issued a few days ahead of time.

According to the NWS, if a freeze warning or watch is issued for your area, there is little you can do to protect plants. If you can move your sensitive plants inside, do so because the freeze will likely kill them, depending on the severity of conditions.
