The National Weather Service is forecasting near or below freezing overnight and morning temperatures through Sunday across the Willamette Valley, including Benton County.

Some areas may experience “feels like” temperatures near or below 25 degrees, particularly in lower valleys and sheltered locations.

“Cold mornings like this can be dangerous, especially for people without adequate heat,” said Bryan Lee, Benton County emergency manager. “Taking a few simple precautions can help keep you, your family and your neighbors safe.”

Residents are encouraged to take steps now to stay safe :

• Dress in warm layers and limit time outdoors during night and early morning hours.
• Check on neighbors, older adults and others who may need extra support.
• Protect pets, plants and exposed pipes.
• Use space heaters safely and never use outdoor heating devices indoors.
• Place a spare blanket and winter gear like hats and gloves in your vehicle if possible, in case of emergency.
