The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a freeze watch for Western Montgomery and Lower Bucks counties, valid from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Friday. Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 31 degrees are anticipated, potentially causing frost and freeze conditions that can damage crops and vegetation. Residents should heed the warning and take protective measures to safeguard their plants.
According to the NWS, temperatures within the range of 29-32 degrees can be harmful to plants. If necessary, frost warnings may be extended beyond October. To protect sensitive plants, residents should consider moving them indoors, as the freeze can potentially kill them depending on the severity of conditions.
The NWS advises taking precautions to protect tender plants from the cold. This includes covering plants with a blanket or cloth, or using frost blankets or covers. If possible, plants should be placed in a warm area, such as a garage or shed. Watering plants can also help to protect them from frost damage.
