The National Weather Service has issued a Freeze Watch for Central and Southeast Montgomery from Monday, April 20, at 10:00 pm through Tuesday, April 21, at 10:00 am, with conditions that could damage crops, sensitive vegetation, and unprotected outdoor plumbing.
This is one of those early-spring cold snaps that can do real damage, especially since plants have already started growing. What this means in plain terms:
- Anything sensitive outside is at risk
- Frost can form even if you don’t see ice
- Pipes in exposed areas could freeze if not protected
What you should do today:
- Bring potted plants indoors or into a garage
- Cover outdoor plants with sheets, blankets, or frost cloth (avoid plastic directly on leaves)
- Water plants lightly before sunset, it can help reduce frost damage
- Disconnect hoses and cover outdoor faucets if you haven’t already
- Bring pets inside overnight
