Freeze Warning Issued for Southeastern Pennsylvania
The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for several counties in southeastern Pennsylvania, including Chester, Montgomery, Bucks, Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton. The warning is valid from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Tuesday, and temperatures are expected to drop to as low as 30 degrees.
Frost and freeze conditions can kill crops and other sensitive vegetation, so residents are urged to take steps now to protect their plants. This may include bringing potted plants indoors or covering them with blankets or tarps.
Freeze warnings are typically issued from May to October, but they can be extended if necessary. If there is a potential for temperatures to fall into the freezing range, a freeze watch may be issued a few days in advance.
If a freeze warning or watch is issued for your area, there is little you can do to protect your plants from the cold. However, if you can move your sensitive plants inside, you should do so, as the freeze will likely kill them.
Residents can stay up-to-date on the latest weather conditions by visiting the National Weather Service website or by following them on social media.
