-This week’s testing concludes the Department of Public Health weekly mosquito testing program for 2012.
-A Freeze Warning is predicted overnight from October 12 to October 13. However, mosquitoes survive if the temperature does not remain below 28’F for a minimum of two hours, which constitutes a “killing” frost.
-NOTE: The National Weather Service forecasts tonight’s temperatures to go no lower than 31’F.
