The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a freeze watch for Brevard County and Indian River County. The warning is for Feb. 4, 2021, from 1:00 am until 8:00 am.

People living in Sebastian, Grant, Barefoot Bay, Micco, Roseland, Fellsmere, Wabasso, and Vero Beach may have temperatures anywhere from 31 to 34 degrees tonight.

“Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes, they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-ground pipes to protect them from freezing,” The National Weather Service said.
