After westerly winds decrease early this evening, a strong cold front will race southward across the plains this evening. Gusts near 55 mph are expected along and behind the front. Localized areas of blowing dust may occur.
A Freeze Warning is in effect for lower elevation areas where the growing season got an early start thanks to a record warm March. A hard freeze will cause damage to sensitive vegetation without adequate protection. Precautions will also need to be taken for irrigation systems, exposed pipes and swamp coolers. And remember, if you're cold, your pets are too! Make sure they have warm shelter and unfrozen water.
