Not sure where you are, but here in Southern Indiana, regardless of what 
the forecasters are saying, we covered up sensitive plants (we have 
tomatoes in raised beds already, tree peonies etc.) last night and will 
do so again tonight. Forecast for the "greater Louisville" area is a low 
around 38 but we've found we get temps a good 5-8 degrees colder than 
that north of the river.

FWIW  Most  weather  forecasts   are  for  about  6ft  above  the  
ground,  Normal  instrument  height.. 

At  ground  level  it  might  be  6  to 12  degrees  colder,  The  
number  us  plant  growers  need 

Actually  I'm  in  NH,  about  2  USDA Zones  colder  than  Jackson Co.  
( been there)

Actually  colder  than  Fairbanks,  Alaska
