A freeze watch has been issued for parts of Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina, predicting temperatures as low as the upper 20s. The alert will be in force from late Tuesday night until Wednesday morning, with possible frost and freeze conditions that might harm vulnerable vegetation.
According to the National Weather Service, Virginia counties affected include Mecklenburg, Lunenburg, Nottoway, Amelia, and adjacent counties, as well as parts of Richmond and the broader metro area. The watch also includes sections of Maryland’s Dorchester, Wicomico, and Somerset counties, as well as North Carolina’s Northampton and Hertford counties.
The low temperatures endanger crops and sensitive plants; therefore, locals are urged to take action now to safeguard susceptible vegetation. The freeze might occur early in the morning, making it vital for people to act before evening temperatures dip.
