Inland, rural areas in southeast Louisiana and south Mississippi could see patchy frost and a light freeze Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Gardeners north of I-10 may want to take precautions this weekend, as temperatures could drop close to freezing in a few areas Saturday and Sunday mornings.
A light freeze is possible in inland, rural areas, making this a good time to consider protecting tropical plants and other cold-sensitive vegetation. Moving potted plants indoors or covering vulnerable tropical plants overnight can help protect them from the cold.
Frost is possible, but it isn’t guaranteed. Soil moisture has been remarkably low, which may reduce the chances of dew and frost forming. Even so, gardeners should be prepared for the possibility, especially in colder inland locations.
