Freeze Watch Issued for Wallowa County: Protect Plants and Plumbing
A Freeze Watch has been issued for Wallowa County from this evening until Tuesday morning, with temperatures as low as 25 degrees Fahrenheit possible, prompting the need to protect tender plants and outdoor plumbing.
Wallowa County residents should take immediate steps to protect tender plants and outdoor plumbing as a Freeze Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) in Pendleton, Oregon. The watch is in effect from this evening, October 12, until Tuesday morning, October 13, at 9:00 AM PDT.
Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 25 degrees Fahrenheit are possible throughout Wallowa County during this period. These conditions pose a risk of killing crops and other sensitive vegetation, and could also damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.
The NWS advises residents to take action now to cover or bring indoors any sensitive plants. Additionally, consider insulating outdoor pipes or allowing faucets to drip slowly to prevent freezing and bursting.
