The National Weather Service’s New Orleans-Baton Rouge forecast office has issued a freeze watch tonight for all parishes of the Capital Region except Ascension and Iberville. A freeze watch means sub-freezing temperatures are possible—conditions that could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation. Precautions should be taken to protect freshly planted spring gardens, and tropical and sensitive potted plants should be brought indoors. Lows in the watch area could fall to around freezing for one to three hours before sunrise. A low of 34 degrees is forecast for Baton Rouge.
