Freeze warnings and frost advisories will be in effect from 1 to 9 a.m. Sunday for areas west of I-95. The cold could damage sensitive plants.
What’s Happening: Low temperatures will range from 27 to 38 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Most areas will reach the mid to upper 30s, with temperatures in the 20s across the mountains.
What’s Important: Sheltered valleys face the greatest chance of frost or freezing temperatures, especially along and west of the Blue Ridge. Elevated winds are expected to keep frost from forming near the I-95 metropolitan areas.
How This Affects Real People: Sensitive plants should be brought indoors when possible. Residents can cover plants that cannot be moved with light plastic, burlap or cloth sheets.
The Rule: A freeze warning means temperatures are expected to fall below freezing. A frost advisory means cold conditions could allow frost to form and damage sensitive plants.
