A Freeze Warning remains in effect across much of the Delmarva Peninsula until 9 AM this morning, with temperatures dropping as low as 28 degrees in some areas.
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly issued the warning for Kent and Inland Sussex counties in Delaware, along with Caroline, Kent, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot counties in Maryland. Temperatures are expected to fall between 28 and 32 degrees, creating dangerous conditions for sensitive vegetation and outdoor plumbing.
Residents should take immediate action to protect tender plants by covering them or bringing potted plants indoors. Outdoor water pipes and faucets should also be protected from freezing temperatures that could cause costly damage.
The unseasonably cold weather poses a significant threat to crops and gardens that may have already begun spring growth. Frost and freeze conditions could kill sensitive vegetation that isn’t properly protected.
Looking ahead, another Freeze Watch has been issued for this evening through Thursday morning, with temperatures potentially dropping to 30-32 degrees and frost development possible.
The current Freeze Warning expires at 9 AM today, but residents should continue monitoring weather conditions as additional cold snaps are forecast. Stay with TV Delmarva for the latest weather updates.
