A Freeze Warning has been issued for Butler, Champaign, Clark, Greene, Hamilton, Montgomery, Miami, Preble and Warren until Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.

Protect sensitive vegetation from the cold. If temperatures are expected to go below freezing, protect any exposed pipes. Frost and freeze conditions will kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing, the NWS said.

Rain is on the forecast this morning before 10 a.m. Cloudy skies will linger with a high of 46 degrees to go with the rainy conditions.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy before gradually clearing and cold, which may bring widespread frost later on. The low will be around 26 degrees.

Frost is expected before 9 a.m. on Tuesday with the rest of the day looking sunny but bright. Highs will be near 43 degrees, too. Tuesday night will bring snow showers and mostly cloudy skies with temperatures falling into the mid-20s.

A brief chance for some mixed rain and snow showers will evolve Tuesday evening into early Tuesday night before drier conditions return to the region by midweek, the NWS said.

Wednesday involves a sunny sky with a high of 43 degrees, followed by a mostly clear overnight with a low of 25 degrees.

Much below normal temperatures are set for midweek before a gradual warming trend evolves for the latter half of the week into next weekend, with temperatures getting close to normal late week, according to the NWS.

Thursday brings more sunshine respite with highs in the upper 40s. Thursday night will be partly cloudy but cold with lows falling into the mid-30s.
