Frosty Nights in the Forecast

Temperatures could drop below the freezing point early Sunday morning.

Updated 8:57 p.m. Saturday with lows of 37 to 47 degrees forecast along the coast, not 237 degrees.

Frost is likely in San Diego County’s wind-sheltered valleys overnight as temperatures drop into the high 20s and 30s, forecasters said.

The frost could cause some overpasses and bridges to become icy and potentially hazardous for motorists, as moisture condenses and freezes on the

road surface, according to the National Weather Service.

It also could pose a threat to sensitive plants and crops, forecasters said.

Officials with the weather service issued a frost advisory set to go into effect at midnight and extend until 8 a.m. Sunday.

The overnight temperature in the valleys was expected to be mostly in the 30s, but the coldest spots could be in the upper 20s briefly, forecasters said.

Lows of 37 to 47 degrees are expected tonight along the coast, 25 to 35 degrees in the mountains and 40 to 48 degrees in the deserts, according to the NWS.

Forecasters expected frost again Sunday night into Monday morning in
areas west of the mountains.

The public deserves an objective, unemotional, factual public debate on this proposition. So far IRead More am still leaning toward a yes vote, but I am keeping an open mind at least through this month.

Of course women don't have the same standing as men, they don't have the same hardware either. ButRead More they do have considerably more responsibility in our society. They are the ones who have the responsibilty and the honor of bringing new life into the world. And caring for and nurturing the babies and small children. Men can't do this, no matter how hard they try to act like women. Can you imagine a fella giving birth? Believe me, a fella couldn't take it. Can you imagine a fella breast feeding a baby? You have got to be kidding! Can you just imagine the jacked-up mess we'd be in if men had to do all this by themselves? We'd be extinct by now that's for sure!

Your right Jac, women do not have Equal Rights, they are treated as 2nd Class citizens here in theRead More USA. The ERA will not pass congress, you can blame it on the Republicans , but there a lot of Demo's also think we do not need to pass it...!!!
