While this warning primarily affects areas north of our region in Delaware and Philadelphia counties, residents in northern Delaware should take immediate action.\n\nThese sub-freezing temperatures pose serious risks to tender plants, crops, and outdoor plumbing. Frost and freeze conditions could kill sensitive vegetation that may have already begun spring growth, and unprotected water pipes could freeze and burst.\n\nWeather officials urge residents to take protective steps now. Bring potted plants indoors, cover garden beds with blankets or tarps, and ensure outdoor faucets and exposed pipes are properly insulated. Pet owners should also bring animals inside or provide adequate shelter.\n\nThe freeze warning expires at 4:00 PM today, but the coldest temperatures will occur in the early morning hours Tuesday. After this cold snap, temperatures are expected to return to more seasonal levels later in the week.\n\nStay with TV Delmarva for continuing coverage of this developing weather story.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Freeze Warning is in effect for New Castle County tonight with temperatures dropping to 27 degrees, threatening plants and outdoor plumbing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":54767,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776679611007.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pbtNqq-efm","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":54983,"url":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/freeze-warning-temperatures-could-drop-to-27-degrees-tonight-across-northern-delmarva\/","url_meta":{"origin":54768,"position":0},"title":"Freeze Warning: Temperatures Could Drop to 27 Degrees Tonight Across Northern Delmarva","author":"Admin","date":"April 20, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"A Freeze Warning is in effect for New Castle County tonight through Tuesday morning, with temperatures dropping as low as 27 degrees.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/category\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776708415704.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776708415704.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776708415704.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776708415704.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776708415704.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":48630,"url":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/freeze-warning-tonight-protect-plants-and-pipes-as-temperatures-drop-to-mid-20s\/","url_meta":{"origin":54768,"position":1},"title":"Freeze Warning Tonight: Protect Plants and Pipes as Temperatures Drop to Mid-20s","author":"Admin","date":"April 7, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Temperatures will drop between 25-30 degrees tonight across northern Delaware and central New Jersey.
