Topeka, KS – A freeze warning has been issued for parts of central, northeast, and north-central Kansas tonight, with temperatures expected to drop as low as 28°F. The National Weather Service has warned that the freeze conditions could have significant impacts on sensitive plants and outdoor plumbing.
According to the National Weather Service, the freeze warning will be in effect from midnight tonight until 8 AM Tuesday. Affected areas include Topeka, Emporia, Lawrence, Manhattan, and surrounding counties. These sub-freezing temperatures pose a threat to crops and other vulnerable vegetation, with the possibility of damage to unprotected outdoor plumbing.
Residents are urged to take precautions to protect their gardens and plants by bringing them indoors or covering them with appropriate materials. Those with outdoor plumbing should ensure it is insulated to avoid potential damage.
This freeze event follows an unusually warm stretch, and the sudden drop in temperatures is expected to be a stark contrast to the more typical spring conditions in the region.
