Freeze Warning; Bring in the Potted Plants

The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for the Pikesville area, and many other counties in Maryland and Northern Virginia.

The freeze could occur overnight between 3-9 a.m. Tuesday, according to the freeze alert. Temperatures could be between the upper 20s to lower 30s for about three hours, it states.

"A freeze warning means sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or highly likely," the alert states. "These conditions will kill crops and other sensitive vegetation."

So if you're in the warning area and have taken advantage of the recent, warm weather to start a garden early, make sure to protect any new plants tonight by covering them, or bring those potted plants inside.

According to the Pikesville forecast, the low Monday will be about 32 degrees.

The high Tuesday will be near 52 degrees, and it could get as cold as 38 degrees Tuesday night.
