Freeze Warning Issued Tonight for Multiple Northeast Ohio Communities
A freeze warning is now active for multiple communities in Northeast Ohio. The advisory affects several counties located south of Akron and west of Cleveland. Expect temperatures in these areas to dip below freezing, with lows forecasted between 28 and 29 degrees Fahrenheit.
Details of the Freeze Warning
The freeze warning will be in effect starting at midnight tonight, lasting until 9 a.m. on Saturday. Here are the counties included in this warning:

Conditions and Consequences
In these areas, cloud cover is expected to clear, leading to significant temperature drops. However, to the northeast, lake effect clouds and showers will linger, inhibiting a similar drop in temperatures, which will remain in the mid-30s to low 40s near Lake Erie.
It is crucial to take precautions against the impending cold. Sub-freezing conditions can severely affect crops and delicate plants. Unprotected outdoor plumbing may also sustain damage, leading to costly repairs. Gardeners and homeowners should take steps to protect sensitive vegetation from frost.
