Farmerville / Union Parish and north Louisiana
Union Parish will be under a freeze warning from midnight to 9 a.m. CST Saturday, November 14, with temperatures expected to fall as low as 32 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Shreveport.
A frost advisory covers Claiborne, Lincoln, Jackson, Ouachita and Caldwell parishes during the same period. Temperatures as low as 34 degrees are forecast there, allowing frost to form.
Residents should protect tender plants before the overnight cold arrives. The Weather Service says frost and freezing conditions could kill sensitive vegetation. The freeze warning also identifies possible damage to unprotected outdoor plumbing.
The Shreveport office issued the bulletin at 10:31 a.m. CST Friday, November 13. It names Farmerville and Bernice among communities in the freeze warning area. The warning also extends into parts of Arkansas, but Union is the only Louisiana parish included in that warning.
The five Louisiana parishes under the frost advisory have a different alert, not a freeze warning. The bulletin does not place all of north Louisiana under either alert.
