According to the National Weather Service office in Lincoln, a ridge
of Canadian high pressure is expected to slide east of Illinois by
early Thursday morning, causing light winds. Skies will be clear, so
the temperatures are expected to fall to below freezing.
Temperatures tonight will fall into a 28-32 degree range in most
areas due to the cold air mass over the region. A freeze warning
therefore remains in effect for tonight.
These freezing temperatures will be harmful to many budding
and unprotected sensitive plants during this time of the year.
Precautions should be taken to protect young plants where possible.
