Freeze Warning Issued In Dublin, NorCal: NWS

DUBLIN, CA — Just a week after record-high temperatures hit the Bay Area, Mother Nature is overcompensating with a round of freezing temperatures and high winds. The National Weather Service has issued a Freeze Warning in Dublin, and all over the Bay Area and the Central Coast that will last from 2 a.m. Wednesday until 9 a.m. Friday.

The moderate cold snap started Sunday, and was followed Monday by the Bay Area’s first rain in 45 days. This was followed by high winds Tuesday, with the National Weather Service reporting gusts of up to 20 mph in Dublin.

The coldest weather is predicted on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and last until Saturday morning.

Dublin is expected to see a low of 29 degrees Tuesday night, with widespread frost expected before 9 a.m., according to the National Weather Service.

Wednesday will see a high of 54 degrees and lighter winds of 5 to 9 miles per hour, but temperatures will plunge to about 31 Wednesday night, and remain at freezing on Thursday morning. Thursday and Friday nights can expect similar temperatures. Temperatures will warm to about 63 over the weekend, and drop to 40 at night.

“Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold,” the National Weather Service warned. 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.”

Unhoused populations are advised to seek shelter at night. Here is a list of shelters in and around Dublin.
