Residents in the Cody Foothills, North Bighorn Basin, Southwest Bighorn Basin, and Southeast Bighorn Basin are urged to take immediate action to protect sensitive plants and outdoor plumbing due to a Freeze Warning issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) in Riverton, WY.
The Freeze Warning is in effect until 9:00 AM MDT this morning, October 12, 2026. Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 28 degrees Fahrenheit are possible across the affected areas. These conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation, and potentially damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.
