Northern Michigan – Sub-freezing temperatures are expected to blanket Northern Michigan tonight into Friday morning, as a freeze warning remains in effect until 9 a.m. EDT Friday. According to the National Weather Service, temperatures in the middle 20s to lower 30s will stretch across portions of both Eastern Upper and Northern Lower Michigan, with the coldest readings expected over interior areas.
The freeze conditions are likely to cause widespread frost, potentially damaging crops and other sensitive vegetation. Gardeners and farmers are advised to take immediate action to protect plants that may not survive the cold snap. Areas such as Emmet, Cheboygan, and Grand Traverse counties are especially at risk, with temperatures plunging well below freezing overnight.
As temperatures dip to near 25°F in some locations, frost could form on exposed plants, resulting in the loss of delicate blooms or crops. Residents in affected areas should cover tender plants, bring potted plants indoors, or utilize frost blankets to safeguard outdoor vegetation.
This freeze warning is set to last until Friday morning, but those in impacted areas should remain prepared for possible colder temperatures on Friday night. More weather updates may follow as conditions develop.
