Orange County's coastal plains could experience patches of frost tonight and Saturday night as a blast of Alaskan air moves through the region, the National Weather Service says.
Overnight temperatures the next two days will be in the mid-to-low 30s across much of the county and could drop to 29 degrees in canyon areas protected from the winds. Cold air is heavy and tends to sink to the surface of the Earth.
Forecasters said there's a slim chance that the county will get brief showers today. But the storm clouds will disappear by early Saturday and a mild Santa Ana condition will develop, producing 30 mph gusts inland and 15 mph to 20 mph gusts near the coast. The humidity level inland could fall below 20 percent.
The weather service says that the combination of low humidity, dry, cold air, moderate winds and a lack of rain raise the prospect of wildfires across Orange County.

This BETTER not have a punch line!
No! Al, I didn't hear! Did YOU?

Oh joy...fires shortly thereafter....
Stop that!
STOP that!
NO WINDS!
Stop already with the winds...!!!
That hard freeze area exactly covers 'America's Salad Bowl' doesn't it? Regardless can't be good news for the farmers there.
Ahem, mid to high 70's here tomorrow.
I noticed a number of fields above the Napa Valley and in the Sacramento Valley ripping out grape vines, walnut trees and pears and replacing the fields with olive trees.
How might those olive trees make out with a chill in the air?
I'm thinking about the Baja...
It's all the same thing, either way it's because of the Bush Administration's and the Republican party's failed policies.
A deep freeze will kill all the E Coli on the spinach.
(I peeked over in Wikipedia.)
Well, Ben, isn't that cheating a tiny bit?
I've considered the California farmer and orchardist to be among the most blessed and most innovative farmers that ever touched hands to dirt.
When I was prowling about CA back in November, I figured I could buy walnuts at peak season cheap. No way, Jose. The farmers protected those walnuts like babes in the crib.
They said: You want walnuts, you foreigner, you're gonna pay full price.
In fact, walnuts were cheaper here in Michigan than in CA.
Well, my brother in law in Georgia sent us pecans. So it's pecans on the ice cream and pancakes this winter.
Growers in CA are too protective of their crops (almonds, avocadoes, etc,), and, in the end, screw themselves out of money. They believe the press that they're special, and, when all the chips are counted up, will go broke.
Hi Day! - Yep, is close to me. Today all the kids at Eric's school were talking about the brief powder that appeared this morning, but we did not get any at our house. Hoping for some tonight, but its 42 out right now (cold for me, but not cold enough for snow).
IIRC, on a different board she had told us (BTW, some have mentioned they miss you...hint!) that she shares ownership of a cabin on Big Bear Lake (maybe Lake Arrowhead) and goes snow-tubing on ocassion. However, having snow this low around here seems to be something new to most.
My sister headed up to Big Bear this afternoon and they are expecting 2 degrees weather with -30 degrees wind chill.......burr....I don't know how the rest of the country puts up with that...lol
My co-worker in Perris told me it was snowing there this morning...weird!
I heard the elevation was around 900 for the snow, I am at 678, not to be exact or anything :-)
I'm at 1700...you can see pics from my house this morning in post 2.
