Cincinnati, OH – A Freeze Warning remains in effect for large parts of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky early Tuesday morning, with temperatures expected to drop into the mid-20s.
The warning covers areas including Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and surrounding cities, effective from 1 AM to 11 AM EDT on April 8, 2025. Sub-freezing temperatures could damage sensitive vegetation, crops, and unprotected outdoor plumbing, according to the National Weather Service.
The cold snap is anticipated to impact several regions, particularly in southeast and east-central Indiana, northern Kentucky, and a large portion of central and southern Ohio. It could lead to widespread frost, putting farmers and homeowners at risk of damage to crops and plants.
Impacts and Safety Tips The freeze could kill tender plants, so it’s essential to take action to protect gardens and vegetation by covering them or bringing them indoors if possible. Homeowners are also advised to ensure outdoor plumbing is properly insulated to prevent pipes from freezing.
Temperatures are expected to warm up later in the day, but until then, residents should be prepared for a potentially damaging frost overnight.
