...HARD FREEZE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM EST /8 AM
CST/ FRIDAY...

A HARD FREEZE IS EXPECTED TONIGHT AS CALM WINDS WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO PLUMMET. THE TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION TONIGHT WILL
NOT BE AS UNIFORM AS THURSDAY MORNING. IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS WILL ALLOW AREAS WITH SANDY SOIL AND FEWER TREES TO GET
COLDER THAN OTHER AREAS...INCLUDING URBAN CENTERS. IN ADDITION...
TEMPERATURES WILL GET MUCH COLDER INLAND TONIGHT THAN ALONG THE
COAST. MOST RURAL INLAND AREAS WILL GET HARD FREEZE CONDITIONS FOR
ABOUT 6 TO 9 HOURS WITH A TOTAL OF 12 HOURS OF BELOW FREEZING
TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER...URBAN AREAS SUCH AS DOWNTOWN TALLAHASSEE
AND DOTHAN...AND COASTAL AREAS INCLUDING PANAMA CITY AND
APALACHICOLA WILL NOT GET A HARD FREEZE. THESE AREAS WILL GET A
FEW HOURS BELOW FREEZING.

A HARD FREEZE WARNING MEANS TEMPERATURES OF 26 DEGREES OR COLDER
ARE LIKELY. THESE CONDITIONS COULD HARM CROPS...ANIMALS...
AUTOMOBILE RADIATORS...AND EXPOSED WATER PIPES.
