...SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TONIGHT...

COLDER AIR WILL GRADUALLY FILTER INTO WESTERN NEW YORK TODAY...THEN
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT WHICH WILL
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO AGAIN DROP BELOW FREEZING. TEMPERATURES WILL
DIP BELOW FREEZING AROUND MIDNIGHT...BOTTOMING OUT IN THE MID TO
UPPER 20S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS WITH LOW 20S POSSIBLE IN SHELTERED
VALLEYS OF THE SOUTHERN TIER AND ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY. EVEN
ALONG THE LAKE ERIE AND LAKE ONTARIO SHORELINE TEMPERATURES ARE
LIKELY TO DROP BELOW FREEZING FOR SEVERAL HOURS.

THIS HARD FREEZE MAY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO UNPROTECTED VEGETATION
WHICH HAS STARTED TO EMERGE MANY WEEKS EARLY DUE TO THE STRETCH OF
VERY WARM WEATHER LAST WEEK. INTERESTED PARTIES ARE STRONGLY
ADVISED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT SENSITIVE PLANTS THAT MAY
HAVE BUDDED EARLY.
