Freeze Warning: Protect Plants, Prevent Damage in Southern Trinity
A Freeze Warning is in effect for Southern Trinity, including Hayfork and Peanut, from tonight at midnight until Sunday at 9:00 AM PDT, with temperatures as low as 28 degrees expected to impact plants and outdoor plumbing; residents must protect sensitive vegetation and pipes now.
Residents in Southern Trinity, specifically Hayfork and Peanut, 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) Eureka CA. The warning is effective from tonight, October 10, 2026, at midnight PDT until Sunday, October 11, 2026, at 9:00 AM PDT.
Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 28 degrees Fahrenheit are expected. These conditions could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation, and potentially damage unprotected outdoor plumbing. While there is a high probability of temperatures reaching 32 degrees or less, the NWS notes a slight chance that elevated winds or developing low clouds could keep overnight lows slightly warmer, in the mid to upper 30s.
The NWS advises taking steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. Cover or bring indoors any sensitive vegetation that could be harmed by freezing temperatures. Additionally, consider wrapping exposed outdoor pipes to prevent damage from freezing.
