The National Weather Service issued an updated freeze warning at 7:54 a.m. on Friday in effect until 8 a.m. for Colorado.
“Temperatures are warming after sunrise ending the freezing temperatures this morning. Will allow the warning to expire on schedule at 8 a.m.,” states the NWS.
The full list of affected locations includes:
• Lower Yampa River Basin
• Central Yampa River Basin
• Debeque to Silt Corridor
• Central Colorado River Basin
• Four Corners/Upper Dolores River
• Animas River Basin
• San Juan River Basin
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.
