Local weather forecasters suggest there is possibility for more unseasonably cold temperatures early next week. Weather Underground shows predictions of lows near 35 on Monday and Tuesday mornings.
Our local contacts suggest the greatest concern for frost is Monday mornings when temperatures could dip into the 20’s in the Delta area. Tuesday morning could also be cold.
Gardeners should monitor the weather forecasts, and be particularly alert during after the weekend.
