Hard freeze likely overnight

Keep an eye on your outdoor plants tonight.  Spring isn’t here yet.  A hard freeze with several hours of sub-freezing temperatures in the mid  20s will be possible overnight.  The entire Tri-State could be affected.  Almost all areas are expected to see at least a light freeze.

Fruit trees, such as apricot or pear trees, are especially vulnerable.

Thunderstorm formation is possible Sunday and Sunday night as a low pressure area passes by to the northwest.

Volunteers needed for nationwide weather observing network

The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network (CoCoRaHS) is expanding across Indiana and new volunteers are needed. This nationwide project, located online at www.cocorahs.org offers an opportunity for anyone, young or old, to become a volunteer observer of rain, snow, and hail. Data collected by volunteer observers will help many local, state, and national organizations improve weather forecasts and warnings, ultimately helping save lives.

CoCoRaHS is a volunteer, grass-roots network dedicated to the monitoring of precious water resources across the country. Organizations involved in agriculture, public safety, and natural resources management will find great benefit from this data, available free of charge to all on the network website.
