Virginia and parts of North Carolina are under a freeze warning, with sub-freezing temperatures expected overnight, from 2 AM to 9 AM Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, temperatures could dip as low as the mid 20s to 30°F, potentially impacting crops, vegetation, and outdoor plumbing.
This freeze warning affects a wide range of counties in both states. In Virginia, the warning covers areas including James City, Suffolk, and parts of the Chesapeake region. In North Carolina, it extends across Hertford, Gates, and Bertie counties. Additionally, certain Maryland counties, including Dorchester and Wicomico, are also under the warning.
Residents in the impacted areas are urged to take precautions now. The cold temperatures could lead to frost and freeze conditions that may damage unprotected plants and plumbing. Homeowners are advised to cover sensitive plants and protect outdoor pipes ahead of the overnight chill.
