FREEZE WATCH ISSUED FOR CALHOUN AND SOME REGIONAL COUNTIES

(03/26/2012)
Temperatures could get down into the 20s and 30s in parts of West Virginia this week, ending about two weeks of abnormally high temperatures.

The National Weather Service has issued a Freeze Watch for the following counties from Monday evening through Tuesday morning Wirt, Calhoun, Ritchie, Braxton, and Gilmer, among other regional counties mostly north.

Meteorologists say it will be cold enough to damage or kill any sensitive outdoor plants, putting a slowdown on the early start of the growing season.
