Weather officials have issued a freeze warning for the region that will remain in effect from Sunday evening through Monday morning.
The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, New Jersey issued the alert on Sunday at 11:01 AM, with the warning period extending until 9:00 AM on Monday.
Temperatures are expected to drop to levels that could cause damage to sensitive vegetation and crops during the overnight hours. Residents are advised to take precautions to protect any tender plants or agricultural products that could be affected by the freezing conditions.
The weather service typically issues freeze warnings when temperatures are forecast to drop to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below for an extended period, particularly during growing season when such conditions could cause significant agricultural or horticultural damage.
