A Freeze Warning is in effect for northern Delaware and parts of southern New Jersey from midnight tonight through 9 AM Wednesday morning, with temperatures expected to plummet between 25 and 30 degrees.
The National Weather Service issued the warning at 11:01 AM Tuesday for New Castle County in Delaware, along with multiple counties in New Jersey including Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Cumberland, Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean, and portions of Burlington and Monmouth counties.
These dangerously cold temperatures pose a serious threat to crops, gardens, and sensitive vegetation that have already begun spring growth. The frost and freezing conditions could kill tender plants and potentially damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.
Residents should take immediate action to protect their gardens and property. Cover or bring indoors any sensitive plants, disconnect and drain outdoor hoses, and ensure pipes in unheated areas are properly insulated.
Looking ahead, meteorologists are also monitoring conditions for Wednesday evening through Thursday morning, when another round of freezing temperatures between 25 and 31 degrees is possible.
The current Freeze Warning expires at 9 AM Wednesday. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates as we track these unseasonably cold conditions across the peninsula.
