Friday announcement)
[April 07, 2007]
A large high-pressure system of
Canadian origin will continue to be entrenched across the Midwest
through this weekend. Low temperatures will dip several degrees
below the freezing mark, which is 10 to 15 degrees below normal
levels. The recent unseasonably warm weather has caused vegetation
to begin blooming, so any freezing weather will endanger tender
plants. |

The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning in effect
from 9 p.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday for the counties of Knox,
Stark, Peoria, Marshall, Woodford, Fulton, Tazewell, McLean,
Schuyler, Mason, Logan, DeWitt, Piatt, Champaign, Vermilion, Cass,
Menard, Scott, Morgan, Sangamon, Christian, Macon, Moultrie,

Galesburg, Peoria, Bloomington, Normal, Havana, Lincoln, Champaign,
Urbana, Danville, Jacksonville, Springfield, Taylorville, Decatur,
Charleston, Mattoon, Shelbyville, Effingham, Flora and

imminent or highly likely. These conditions will kill crops and
other sensitive vegetation.
