Freeze Warnings Issued Across Oklahoma and Texas

Oklahoma City and surrounding areas are experiencing their first freeze warning of the season, with temperatures dropping as low as 26°F. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued warnings for much of central and southern Oklahoma as well as portions of northern Texas, advising residents to protect sensitive vegetation and plumbing from frost damage. Similar freeze watches have been issued in California, where temperatures could reach 30°F, prompting caution for crops and outdoor infrastructure. The NWS has updated its cold weather alerts, emphasizing the importance of understanding these warnings to take appropriate precautions. Residents are encouraged to insulate pipes, bring pets indoors, and monitor local weather updates ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, which is expected to be chillier than usual. The freeze warning is set to expire by Tuesday morning, but additional freezing temperatures are forecasted for later in the week.
