Tonight temperatures will take a dive into the 40s. Be sure to adjust your AC tonight before you go to bed.

A *FREEZE WATCH* has been issued for Amite, Pike, Wilkinson, East Feliciana, West Feliciana, St. Helena, and Tangipahoa parishes and counties from Tuesday night until 9 a.m. Wednesday morning.
