[00:00:26]>> And uh That's made up. Admit it.

[00:00:27]>> upset with you planting all your annuals, Betsy. My petunias are in the ground.

[00:00:33]They are living their best life right now, and they are about to get real scared.

[00:00:37]>> Well, let me just There are petunias screaming out right now going, "Ow, it's cold. Help me." Not really. There's not going to be widespread freezes. I think we're going to You know where you live. You know where you live in those sheltered inland valleys. You know the areas where the cold tends to pool, and you wake up with frost on the rooftops even into early June. You know where you live, right? I think tonight is your possibility for another frost. I don't think it's going to be hugely widespread, although there is a possibility, Betsy, as you know, as winds calm down, we call it decoupling.

[00:01:11]It's a possibility, especially in Ashtabula County, Trumbull County, and Mahoning County that that the cold air could just sink right to the ground because there's no wind to spin it around and mix it up a little bit. We'll see.

[00:01:24]Uh we're cautiously optimistic here that Betsy's petunias will survive. I think they will.

Now, cool sunshine and dry weather. What's new? Frost and freezes tonight for the entire 3 News viewing area. Rain Tuesday night, but it looks like now it's going to clear out early enough for Wednesday to stay dry.

[00:02:04]That's not terrible. Not bad. Winds right now are gusty up to 15 mph, but I do believe they're going to calm down, especially east into this area here.

[00:02:14]Ashtabula, Trumbull, Lake County, Geauga County, Portage County. Best chances for frost and freezes are there overnight tonight. Skies are going to clear out.

[00:02:22]We're going to throw on high pressure one, high pressure two, and again, high pressure tends to lead to clear skies and calm winds. So, we have frost advisories out for the majority of our viewing area, freeze warnings for counties that border Pennsylvania for temps a little bit cooler. Here's where we are at 6:00 a.m. That would be a freeze. Youngstown pretty close.

[00:02:42]Ravenna, if we decouple in Ravenna, you're going to be closer to 32, but areas farther west, they stay warm enough where it's just isolated frost.

[00:02:51]Tomorrow looks good. Clouds thicken up during the day. We're in the 60s, then rain comes in overnight, but by Wednesday morning, we're dry. We're going to be cooler, in fact, near the lakeshore. Temps are going to cool during the day through the 50s. So, cooler near the lake and falling temps Wednesday. So, overnight lows, yeah, even in Cleveland, 37. We're going to go tomorrow 66. Our national design mart hour by hour after a little frost here and there to start our day.
