A freeze warning is in effect for coastal Bryan, coastal Chatham, coastal Liberty, coastal McIntosh, Coffee, Jeff Davis, Bacon, Appling, Wayne, Atkinson, Ware, Pierce, and Brantley Counties from 3 am to 9 am Saturday.
Cold high pressure will build from the northwest tonight producing mainly clear skies and brisk northwest winds. This will allow for freezing temperatures to reach areas near the Intracoastal Waterway in southeast Georgia. This includes communities such as Thunderbolt, Wilmington Island, Skidaway Island, Fort McAllister, Halfmoon Landing, Valona, and Darien. There is a chance freezing temperatures could briefly reach the beaches; including Tybee Island, Ossabaw Island, and Sapelo Island.
Temperatures will be below freezing for around 2 to 4 hours late tonight and early Saturday morning...mainly between 3 am and 9 am. Winds as high as 10 to 15 mph will produce wind chills in the 20 to 25 degree range.
A freeze warning means sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or highly likely. These conditions will kill sensitive vegetation.
Those with agricultural interests should prepare now for freezing conditions. Protect outside vegetation such as plants and flowers by bringing them indoors. Wrap large plants and trees with plastic to protect them from the cold.
