A Freeze Warning remains in effect until 9 AM this morning across northern Delaware and much of New Jersey, with temperatures expected to drop between 25 and 30 degrees.
The National Weather Service Mount Holly office issued the warning at 3 AM, affecting New Castle County in Delaware and numerous New Jersey counties including Mercer, Camden, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland, Atlantic, Cape May, and Ocean counties, among others.
The dangerous cold snap could kill crops and sensitive vegetation that may have started growing during recent warmer weather. Residents should also be concerned about potential damage to unprotected outdoor plumbing.
Meteorologists urge residents to take immediate action to protect tender plants by covering them or bringing potted plants indoors. Outdoor faucets and exposed pipes should be checked and protected from freezing.
Looking ahead, another Freeze Watch has been issued for this evening through Thursday morning, with similar temperatures expected and frost development possible.
The current Freeze Warning expires at 9 AM today, but residents across the Delmarva region should continue monitoring weather conditions as spring temperatures remain volatile. Stay with TV Delmarva for the latest weather updates.
