Garden enthusiasts are advised to cover or bring in any vulnerable plants that may have been set out early for the spring season.\n\nThe unseasonably cold temperatures are particularly concerning given the late April timing, when many residents may have already begun their spring gardening preparations. Frost and freeze conditions can quickly kill newly planted flowers, vegetables, and other cold-sensitive plants.\n\nThe Freeze Warning is expected to expire at 9 AM EDT as temperatures gradually rise throughout the morning. However, residents should remain cautious and monitor local conditions.\n\nFor those with outdoor plumbing fixtures, check that faucets and exposed pipes are adequately protected to prevent freezing and potential bursting.\n\nStay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates as we track improving conditions throughout the day.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Castle County is under a Freeze Warning until 9 AM with temperatures dropping to 24 degrees, threatening crops and outdoor plumbing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":55272,"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-55273","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-1776754295503.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pbtNqq-env","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":54879,"url":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/freeze-warning-issued-for-northern-delmarva-as-temperatures-could-drop-to-27-degrees\/","url_meta":{"origin":55273,"position":0},"title":"Freeze Warning Issued for Northern Delmarva as Temperatures Could Drop to 27 Degrees","author":"Admin","date":"April 20, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"New Castle County faces a Freeze Warning with temperatures dropping to 27 degrees from midnight tonight through Tuesday morning.
