Freeze Warning Issued for NYC Area as Temperatures Plunge, Threatening Plants
A freeze warning has been issued for the New York City area, extending through Central and South Jersey, as well as parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. The warning is in effect due to expected low temperatures ranging from the mid-20s to 32 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday morning. This cold snap poses a risk to delicate plants and flowers, which are currently in bloom due to the ongoing growing season. Residents are advised to protect their plants by covering them or moving them to warmer locations. Although the average last freeze in New York City typically occurs at the end of March, it is not uncommon for freezing temperatures to persist into early April.
