Toledo, OH – Northwestern and Central Ohio is under a freeze warning, with temperatures expected to drop as low as 30 degrees by early Wednesday morning. The freeze warning, in effect from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m., impacts several cities, including Toledo, Bowling Green, and Findlay.
According to the National Weather Service, frost and freeze conditions may pose a significant risk to crops, sensitive vegetation, and outdoor plumbing. The warning urges residents to take precautions, such as covering outdoor plants and draining exposed pipes to prevent frost damage.
The drop in temperatures is particularly concerning for gardeners and farmers, as unprotected plants may not survive the night. Experts recommend using blankets, tarps, or other insulating materials to safeguard vegetation.
Additionally, residents with sprinkler systems are advised to drain them to avoid pipe bursts. With temperatures expected to rise after 9 a.m., the cold snap is short but could be costly for those unprepared. Local officials continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates as needed.
