The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a freeze warning for Lehigh and Northampton counties, valid from 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Thursday. Temperatures are expected to drop to 31 degrees, which can cause damage to sensitive vegetation and crops.
The NWS warns that frost and freeze conditions can kill plants, and advises residents to take steps to protect their tender plants. This may include moving them indoors, providing them with some form of cover, or using heat lamps to keep them warm.
Freeze warnings are typically issued during late spring and early fall, when temperatures are likely to drop below freezing and damage vegetation. If you are in an area under a freeze warning, it is important to take steps to protect your plants as soon as possible.
The NWS also encourages residents to stay informed about the latest weather forecasts and warnings by visiting the NWS website or signing up for weather alerts from your local news station or mobile app. This will help you stay prepared for any potential weather hazards that may impact your area.
