Temperatures plummeted Friday night in Weld County and across Colorado, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a freeze warning.
The freeze warning was in effect from about 8 p.m. Friday night until 9 a.m. Saturday for Weld, Larimer, Boulder, and Jefferson counties, among several other areas in Colorado, according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures were expected to drop into the mid-to-upper 20s, which would serve as a killing freeze for most outdoor plants, the weather service stated.
“A freeze warning means sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or highly likely,” the National Weather Service stated. “Covering plants may be of limited effectiveness due to temperatures dropping several degrees below freezing. If possible, bring plants indoors to protect them from the cold. Above ground outdoor sprinkler systems should also be drained.
Saturday, skies will be mostly sunny with a high near 56 degrees.
