A freeze watch has been issued for parts of California and Arizona as a cold front moves through the Western part of the country, bringing sub-freezing temperatures and high winds to the region.

The advisory comes amid widespread winter weather affecting large parts of the country, including forecasted snow in the Northeast in the coming days.

Why It Matters

Sub-freezing temperatures can be dangerous to human life as well as crops and animals. People are advised to protect sensitive plants, animals, and exposed plumbing to prevent damage.

Antelope Valley, the region in California where some of the advisories have been issued, is a popular tourist area at the tip of the Mojave Desert , in parts of Los Angeles and Kern counties.
