Cold Nights Ahead for the Northshore
A stretch of cold nights is ahead for the Northshore, with Saturday morning expected to be the coldest.
Friday morning lows will fall into the lower 40s.
By Saturday morning, temperatures are expected to range from 33 to 39 degrees, with the coolest readings in far northern Tangipahoa and Washington parishes and other rural areas. Lows will reach the upper 30s again Sunday morning.
Patchy frost is possible Saturday morning, though dry soil and very low humidity may limit frost formation. Gardeners should consider protecting sensitive tropical plants and warm-season vegetables and herbs, including tomatoes, sweet potatoes, basil and cucumbers.
Make sure pets have a warm place to stay. There is no need to drip faucets with the temperatures currently expected.
