A cold front has ushered the coldest air of the season into Southeast Louisiana and Southern Mississippi. Clear skies Wednesday night will allow for temperatures to fall near or below freezing across much of the area.
- Temperatures: 28 to 32 degrees across most of the watch area.
- Duration: 6 to 8 hours over southwest Mississippi, 3 to 6 hours elsewhere in the watch area.
- Impacts: Sensitive vegetation could be damaged. Wind chill values in the 20s will impact those outside for prolonged periods overnight Wednesday night.
A freeze warning means sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or highly likely. These conditions will kill crops and other sensitive vegetation.
