WEATHER Morning freezes could spell disaster for early blooms Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Feb. 23, 2015 at 11:10 AM Posted Feb. 23, 2015 at 11:10 AM » Social News Today's morning freeze in the Rogue Valley is set to return Tuesday, with bloom-killing temperatures expected to dip into the mid- to low-20s. The National Weather Service reported a high pressure system with Arctic origins will continue to bring widespread freezing temperatures to parts of Southern Oregon and Northern California tonight into Tuesday morning. Medford could dip down to about 22 degrees, with a 25-degree morning low expected for Ashland, weather officials said. Nearby, the Umpqua Valley could see morning temperatures as low as 24 degrees, while Grants Pass could dip down to 25, and parts of the Illinois Valley could drop to 23. Monday morning's lows for Medford and Ashland were 23 and 29 degrees, respectively, though Ashland's recorded low is not official. Uncovered crops and flowers, which meteorologists say have arrived early this year, could be vulnerable. "Due to several weeks of unusually warm temperatures, many plants in southwest Oregon valleys are much more developed than normal for this time of year," a Weather Service message reads. Meteorologist Brad Schaaf recommended residents cover up those plants to protect them from the cold. Pets also should be brought inside, and people might want to consider steps like insulated sleeves to protect pipes from bursting. — Ryan Pfeil MailTribune.com Writer Posted Feb. 23, 2015 at 11:10 AM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
