The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a freeze warning for the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas from 2 to 9 a.m. Thursday. Temperatures are expected to drop as low as 29 degrees during the early morning hours, posing a risk to plants and water-filled infrastructure.
“Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing,” the NWS warned in a statement.
Residents are advised to take precautions to protect vulnerable plants by moving them indoors or covering them. The freeze warning follows several frost advisories issued by the NWS for the area in the past week, signaling the arrival of colder temperatures.
