A Freeze Warning is currently in effect across much of the Delmarva Peninsula, with dangerously cold temperatures expected to continue through 9 AM Wednesday morning.
The National Weather Service Mount Holly has issued the warning for Kent County Delaware, Inland Sussex County, and Maryland’s Caroline, Kent, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot counties. Temperatures are forecast to drop between 28 and 31 degrees during the overnight hours.
This unseasonably cold snap poses significant risks to crops and sensitive vegetation across the region. Frost and freeze conditions could kill tender plants and potentially damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.
Residents should take immediate steps to protect plants by covering them or bringing potted plants indoors. Property owners are also advised to check outdoor pipes and faucets to prevent freeze damage.
Looking ahead, meteorologists are monitoring conditions for a potential Freeze Watch from Wednesday evening through Thursday morning, where similar temperatures and frost development remain possible.
The current Freeze Warning remains in effect until 9 AM Wednesday. TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as weather conditions change across the peninsula.
