Greenville, SC – A freeze warning is in effect this morning for the mountainous regions of North Carolina and Rabun County in Georgia. The National Weather Service expects temperatures to drop as low as 28 degrees, putting crops, sensitive plants, and unprotected plumbing at risk of damage.
Residents across areas such as Asheville, Hendersonville, and Bryson City in North Carolina, as well as Clayton in Georgia, should take immediate steps to protect plants by covering them or bringing them indoors. In-ground sprinkler systems should be drained, and above-ground pipes should be insulated or disconnected to prevent freeze damage.
This freeze warning is active until 10 a.m. today. As cooler mornings become more frequent, residents in the affected regions should monitor local forecasts and prepare for ongoing frost conditions throughout the fall season.
