Bundle up, Delmarva! A Freeze Warning remains in effect until 9 AM this morning across much of our region, with temperatures expected to dip between 28 and 32 degrees.
The National Weather Service has issued the warning for Kent and Inland Sussex Counties in Delaware, along with Caroline, Kent, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot Counties in Maryland. These dangerous sub-freezing conditions pose a serious threat to crops, gardens, and outdoor plumbing.
Residents should take immediate action to protect tender plants and vegetation. Cover or bring potted plants indoors, and consider wrapping outdoor pipes to prevent freezing and potential damage.
Looking ahead, another Freeze Watch has been issued for this evening through Thursday morning, with temperatures again expected to drop between 30 and 32 degrees and frost development possible.
Gardeners and farmers should be especially vigilant during this unseasonably cold April weather, as newly planted crops and spring flowers are particularly vulnerable to frost damage.
The current Freeze Warning expires at 9 AM this morning, but keep checking TV Delmarva for updates on tonight’s Freeze Watch and changing weather conditions throughout the week.
