Freeze Warning Issued for Early Tuesday

The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for Salisbury and the Lehigh Valley, effective Tuesday, March 27 from 3am to 9am.

Some areas could see temperatures drop to the mid-20s overnight, according to the weather service. And due to an unusually warm winter and early spring, trees and flowers that have already bloomed could suffer damage.

"Any vegetation susceptible to freezing temperatures over a period of three or more hours would be at risk," the NWS said in its statement.

Here are some tips to help protect your plants from a freeze:

• Bring potted plants indoors.
• Water plants thoroughly to prevent dessication.
• Place mulch around in-ground plants.
• Cover tender plants with burlap or cardboard overnight.
