Grand Rapids, MI – A Freeze Warning remains in effect for several Michigan counties, including Clare, Isabella, Mecosta, Osceola, Lake, Mason, Newaygo, and Oceana, from midnight tonight until 9 a.m. EDT Friday. Temperatures are expected to drop below freezing, potentially causing damage to sensitive vegetation and unprotected outdoor plumbing.
According to the National Weather Service, sub-freezing temperatures are likely to pose a risk to crops, tender plants, and vulnerable plumbing systems in these areas. Cold conditions will persist through the early hours of Friday, with the possibility of damage to plants that are not protected from the chill. Residents in affected counties are urged to take precautions to shield plants and cover outdoor pipes to prevent freezing.
Cities like Clare, Mount Pleasant, Ludington, and Fremont, among others, should expect temperatures to dip well below freezing overnight. Farmers and homeowners are particularly advised to take steps to safeguard gardens and lawns, either by covering plants or bringing potted plants indoors.
As the warning expires by 9 a.m. Friday, temperatures are expected to gradually rise, but additional advisories or warnings could be issued if conditions change. Stay updated with local weather information to avoid any cold-related impacts.
