Three consecutive nights of frost or freezing temperatures were observed from the 1st to the 3rd. Vegetation was vulnerable to frost and freezing temperatures due to abnormally warm temperatures in March that promoted early growth. The coldest temperatures were on the morning of the 2nd, when lows ranged from 21 to 24 degrees. The exception was around Cairo, where lows were in the upper 20's. Minor to moderate crop damage was reported after a full assessment was conducted. Alfalfa and wheat sustained light damage in many areas. More than half the peach and apple crop sustained no damage, however a significant percentage of both crops were damaged to varying degrees, ranging from light to severe. Protected strawberries were undamaged, and the overall condition of the crop was rated as good in early May. An unseasonably strong high pressure system with a central pressure around 1035 mb moved southeast from Canada across the lower Ohio Valley on the morning of the 2nd.
