A Freeze Warning remains in effect until 9 AM this morning across parts of the Delmarva Peninsula, with temperatures expected to plummet between 28 and 32 degrees. The National Weather Service issued the warning for Kent and Inland Sussex Counties in Delaware, along with Caroline, Kent, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot Counties in Maryland.
Residents should take immediate action to protect sensitive plants and outdoor plumbing from potential damage. The combination of frost and freezing temperatures could kill crops and tender vegetation that may have emerged during recent warmer weather.
Looking ahead, conditions aren’t expected to improve significantly. The National Weather Service has issued a Freeze Watch for this evening through Thursday morning, with temperatures again dropping to 30-32 degrees and additional frost development possible.
To protect your property, bring potted plants indoors, cover sensitive garden plants with blankets or tarps, and ensure outdoor water pipes are properly insulated. Pet owners should also limit outdoor exposure for animals sensitive to cold temperatures.
The current Freeze Warning expires at 9 AM today, but residents should continue monitoring weather conditions as another freeze threat looms tonight. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the day.
