East Bay Freeze Warning Canceled

BAY AREA, CA — A freeze warning for valleys in the North Bay and the East Bay, as well as the southern Salinas Valley, was canceled early this morning, according to the National Weather Service. The warning was cancelled effective at 4 a.m. Monday, meteorologists said, after advising of the potential freezing temperatures Sunday night.

Temperatures were expected to dip to 27 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit in the North Bay valleys, 28 to 32 in the East Bay valleys, and from 25 to 32 in the southern Salinas Valley, but an increase in high-level clouds placed a blanket over the region and prevented a wide-spread freeze, according to a NWS meteorologist at the Bay Area office in Monterey.

The freezing temperatures can kill many crops, landscape plants and other sensitive vegetation. These temperatures can also damage unprotected pipes and other plumbing.
