First, from the National Weather Service:
Freeze Watch for Island County, WA
FREEZE WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING
WHAT...Sub-freezing temperatures of 27 to 32 degrees possible. Coldest temperatures expected away from urban areas.

WHEN...From late Saturday night through Sunday morning.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. 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.
Raining and cold right now - was gloriously clear last night but the rain moved in around 4AM and has not let up. Supposed to be nice and clear tomorrow - lots of radiative cooling.
