freeze warning

Frost forecast notice

A freeze warning is an official weather alert issued when temperatures are expected to drop to freezing or below, threatening crops, plants, and exposed pipes.

It signals conditions more certain than a freeze watch: The National Weather Service issued a freeze warning for tonight.

Gardeners and farmers use these alerts to protect vulnerable plants.
