Temperatures are expected to dip into the low-to-mid 30s overnight, which could lead to frost that could kill or badly damage sensitive vegetation.
Residents are urged to take steps to protect those plants, including bringing them inside or covering them with blankets if need be.
Some relief is on the way, as temperatures are expected to warm into the low-60s for Tuesday and Wednesday, but rain is also expected to arrive, sticking around for a few days. Highs in the mid-60s Thursday and Friday, then dipping back down into the 50s by the weekend.
