Weather officials have issued a freeze watch for the region that will remain in effect from Friday afternoon through Sunday morning, warning residents to prepare for potentially damaging cold temperatures.
The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, New Jersey announced the freeze watch on Friday at 1:46 PM, with the alert scheduled to continue until 9:00 AM on Sunday, April 21st.
The advisory warns that temperatures could drop low enough to cause frost formation, which may damage or kill sensitive outdoor plants and vegetation that have already begun spring growth.
Residents are encouraged to take protective measures for tender plants, including covering them or bringing potted plants indoors during the coldest overnight hours.
