* WHAT...For the Freeze Watch Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, sub-freezing temperatures as low as 28 to 32 degrees possible. * WHERE...Upper Hood River Valley. * WHEN...From late tonight through Wednesday morning. * IMPACTS...Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...For the Freeze Watch Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, probabilities for temperatures at or below 32 degrees range between 50-70%, while probabilities for a hard freeze with temperatures of 28 degrees or colder range between 15-40%. These probabilities are highest in the Parkdale area and lowest in Odell.

To prevent water pipes from freezing; wrap or drain or allow them to drip slowly. Take steps now to protect tender outdoor plants from the cold. Consider temporarily moving outdoor potted plants indoors if they are sensitive to cold temperatures. Consider temporarily covering sensitive plants with a lightweight cotton fabric (i.e., bedsheets, thin blankets), as this will help retain heat and provide frost protection for your plants.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
