Arizona Freeze Warning Triggers Precautions for Homes and Plants

Temperatures in parts of Arizona are expected to plunge below freezing, prompting safety measures for residents and their property.

The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for several rural areas in Arizona, including Globe, San Carlos, and Peridot, from midnight to 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Temperatures in these regions could drop to the high 20s, with San Carlos potentially experiencing a hard freeze at 28 degrees or lower.
Residents are advised to protect plumbing by covering exposed pipes, letting faucets drip, and ensuring garages and cabinets near water lines are insulated.
To safeguard plants, experts recommend bringing sensitive plants indoors or covering outdoor plants with frost cloths, blankets, or other protective materials.
Other parts of the U.S., including Texas and Michigan, are also facing cold weather warnings, with potential freezing temperatures in Texas and heavy snow expected in Michigan.
