According to the National Weather Service in Memphis, a freeze warning will go into effect from 12 a.m. until 9 a.m. Wednesday. Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 25 degrees are expected.
The warning will affect portions of East Arkansas, Southeast Missouri, North Mississippi and West Tennessee.
Frost and freeze conditions will kill crops, and other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.
NWS said you should take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. 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.
