A freeze warning was issued by the National Weather Service on Saturday at 11:16 p.m. in effect until Sunday at 10 a.m. The warning is for Hillsborough, Sarasota and Lee counties.
What to do if there is a freeze watch or warning
Freeze warnings are issued from May to October (but can be extended if necessary), when low temperatures are expected to be 29-32 degrees. If there is a potential for temperatures to fall into these thresholds, a freeze watch may be issued a few days ahead of time.
According to the National Weather Service, if a freeze warning or watch is issued for your area, there is little you can do to protect plants. If you can move your sensitive plants inside, do so because the freeze will likely kill them, depending on the severity of conditions.
