Due to the potential for sub-freezing temperatures, the National Weather Service has issued a freeze watch for Lehigh and Northampton counties, effective from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Friday. Temperatures are forecasted to dip as low as 31 degrees, threatening to damage crops and other delicate vegetation.
The weather service emphasizes the importance of taking immediate action to safeguard tender plants from the impending cold. If possible, relocate them indoors, as the freeze is likely to cause severe damage or even kill them. Residents are advised to closely monitor weather updates and adhere to any additional precautions recommended by local authorities.
