BALTIMORE, MD—The National Weather Service has issued a Freeze Warning for the Baltimore area.

The warning will be in effect for Baltimore County, Harford County, Baltimore City, and much of central Maryland from midnight through 9 a.m. on Monday, November 14th.

Sub-freezing temperatures of around 28 to 32 degrees are expected overnight. Freeze conditions will kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.

Residents should take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-ground pipes to protect them from freezing.
