LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The National Weather Service has issued another hard freeze warning due to low temperatures expected early this week.
The agency issued the warning for the southern portion of Lake County, at elevations below 2,000 feet.
The warning began Saturday night and is to continue through 8 a.m. Tuesday.
A hard freeze warning means sub-freezing temperatures – which can damage crops and kill other sensitive vegetation – are imminent or highly likely.
The National Weather Service said a very cold and dry airmass originating from Canada is settling into Northern California over the next several days.
Temperatures are forecast to be in the teens and low 20s overnight, with the coldest locations expected to be areas where there was recent snowfall, the National Weather Service said.
Area residents are urged to protect pets and livestock, cover unprotected outside plants and take precautions against bursting pipes.
