A freeze warning is in effect tonight through 9 AM Wednesday, with temperatures expected to drop as low as 28°F across parts of New York and New Jersey. The National Weather Service issued the warning early this morning, advising residents to take precautions, especially for sensitive vegetation.
The freeze is set to impact areas including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and parts of northern New Jersey, including Hudson and Essex counties. With temperatures expected to dip below freezing after midnight, the cold could pose a risk to crops and tender plants.
According to the National Weather Service, the freeze will begin at midnight tonight and last until 9 AM EDT Wednesday, bringing unseasonably cold conditions for early April. Residents are urged to protect vulnerable plants by covering them or bringing them indoors. This freeze follows a string of mild spring temperatures in the region, creating a stark contrast that could have significant impacts on local agriculture.
