It’s a little earlier than normal for frost/freeze concerns, but given the record breaking warmth, breaking buds, and abundance of blooms seen across the valleys, there is concern that cold temperatures could cause damage to early growth. Clearing skies behind behind a dry cold front Wednesday night will allow for temperatures to drop close to or below freezing in the Rogue, Illinois, Applegate, and Umpqua valleys. Similar or colder temperatures are possible again later next week. Outlying areas stand a higher probability of temperatures that would support frost or freezing conditions. If you have early crops or other sensitive early growth, take action to protect them from cold temperatures.
