The National Weather Service said temperatures could fall as low as 25 degrees in parts of central, south-central, southwest and west-central Michigan. That's cold enough to kill crops and other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage uninsulated outdoor plumbing.
Growers should take steps to protect vulnerable plants, the weather service said.
