Harrisburg, PA – A freeze warning has been issued for parts of central Pennsylvania, including Harrisburg, York, Lancaster, and surrounding counties, from 2 AM to 9 AM EDT on Wednesday, April 9. The National Weather Service warns that temperatures could dip as low as 20 to 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
According to the National Weather Service, these sub-freezing temperatures are expected to impact Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and York counties, with possible severe effects on crops and early-season vegetation. Those with agricultural interests are advised to take precautionary measures, as unprotected plants may freeze.
Residents should be prepared for a sharp drop in temperatures overnight, and gardeners or those with vulnerable plants should take steps to protect their crops. These conditions could result in significant damage to sensitive plants, particularly in the early stages of growth.
