...FREEZE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 9 AM
CDT THURSDAY...
...FREEZE WARNING WILL EXPIRE AT 9 AM CDT THIS MORNING...

* WHAT...Temperatures this morning have mostly risen above 
  freezing, so the first Freeze Warning will expire at 9 AM CDT. 
  For the second Freeze Warning, sub- freezing temperatures in the
  mid to upper 20s. 

* WHERE...Portions of northeast Missouri, east central, 
  northeast and southeast Iowa and north central, northwest and 
  west central Illinois. 

* WHEN...The first Freeze Warning expires at 9 AM CDT. For the 
  second Freeze Warning, from midnight tonight to 9 AM CDT 
  Thursday. 

* IMPACTS...Frost and freeze conditions will kill crops, other 
  sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor 
  plumbing. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent
freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should
be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have
in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-
ground pipes to protect them from freezing.

A Freeze Warning means sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or
highly likely. These conditions will kill crops and other 
sensitive vegetation. Strong winds will make outdoor protection of
plants difficult and ineffective. Bring plants indoors if 
possible. Cover sensitive plants or bring indoors for protection.
