Georgetown, DE – A freeze warning is in effect across parts of Delaware and Maryland, including Kent and Inland Sussex counties in Delaware and Caroline, Kent MD, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot counties in Maryland. The National Weather Service issued the alert early Tuesday morning, advising residents that sub-freezing temperatures as low as 28°F are expected between 11 PM tonight and 9 AM Wednesday.
