Your Sunday update from the Malheur Enterprise

Good morning!

So much for that late summer weather.

The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for the area for temperatures dipping into the upper 20s. The warning runs from midnight Sunday until 10 a.m. Monday.

Check your pipes, folks, says the weather service: “Frost and freeze conditions will kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.”

The area will get to freezing temperatures or lower overnight every day this week and more rain is coming on Monday. Friday into Saturday, the Ontario Airport reported about a quarter inch of rain.

Now, here’s some of the recent work done by your team at the Malheur Enterprise, providing you meaningful reporting you can’t get from any other source.
