We are entering the time of year where temperatures are getting to the point that a hard freeze could happen.

Weatherology Meteorologist Megan Mulford doesn’t anticipate a hard freeze coming up in the next couple of weeks as she describes the levels of freezing temperatures.

“Your light freeze is anywhere from right at freezing 32-degrees to around 29-degrees, that’s kind of when your sensitive plants will be killed. Now you start getting into the moderate freeze, when you have around 25-degrees to 28-degrees. This is when it’s pretty destructive to most vegetation, your crops, your plants, your flowers. Then severe freeze is pretty much anything (from) 25, 24-degrees, all the way to zero, and that’s pretty much, ‘You’re done for the season kind of thing.’”         

Mulford says by the end of next week is the first chance of a light freeze with temperatures around the mid to lower 30s. She adds, by the beginning of November, highs will only be in the 50s and 40s, with the overnight temperatures reaching to around the 20s and 30s.
