Freeze Warning Issued For Baltimore

BALTIMORE, MD — Temperatures in Baltimore City may dip below freezing Friday morning, prompting the National Weather Service to place the city under a freeze warning.

The freeze warning is effective from 2 to 9 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 5.

Frost and freezing conditions may kill crops and other sensitive vegetation, according to the National Weather Service. Sub-freezing temperatures are expected.

"Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold," the National Weather Service warned. "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."

Ann Arundel, southern Baltimore, Charles and Prince George's counties are also under the freeze warning as well as the District of Columbia and parts of Virginia.

Calvert and St. Mary's counties are under a frost advisory, officials said. More frost advisories or freeze warnings may be needed for locations along and east of Interstate 95, where the growing season is continuing, according to a hazardous weather outlook.
