A Freeze Warning is now in effect for New Castle County as overnight temperatures are expected to plummet to a dangerous 27 degrees. The National Weather Service issued the warning this morning at 10:17 AM, with freezing conditions expected from midnight tonight through 9 AM Tuesday morning.
This unseasonably cold weather poses a serious threat to crops, gardens, and sensitive vegetation across northern Delaware. The sub-freezing temperatures could kill tender plants and potentially damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.
Residents in affected areas should take immediate action to protect their gardens and property. Weather experts recommend covering or bringing in sensitive plants, wrapping outdoor pipes, and ensuring pets have warm shelter overnight.
While southern Delaware and the Eastern Shore are not included in this warning, temperatures across the entire Delmarva Peninsula will be significantly cooler than normal for late April.
The Freeze Warning will remain in effect until 9 AM Tuesday morning, when temperatures are expected to rise above the freezing mark. TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as needed. For the latest weather information, stay with your Storm Team 47 forecast.
