CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – A Freeze Watch has been issued for Montgomery and surrounding counties from late Monday night through Tuesday morning.
Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 27 are possible, according to the National Weather Service.
“Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing,” the NWS said. “With such warm temperatures so early into spring, plants have begun to bloom. Low temperatures will drop to below freezing for six to seven hours late Monday night. Freezing conditions will again be expected Tuesday night into Wednesday.”
The NWS offered several precautions for residents.
“Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold,” the NWS said. “To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-ground pipes to protect them from freezing.”
