MARYLAND — The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for parts of Maryland, effective from midnight to 9 a.m. Thursday, April 22.

Harford, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick and Washington counties are under the warning, which calls for temperatures of 30 to 32 degrees.

Frost and freeze conditions in these five counties could kill crops and sensitive vegetation and may damage unprotected outdoor plumbing, according to the warning.

Ballenger Creek, Cockeysville, Eldersburg, Frederick, Hagerstown, Jarrettsville, Reisterstown, Warrenton, Westminster and Washington may be impacted, officials said.

People in areas under the freeze warning should drain and wrap pipes, drain and cover in-ground sprinkler systems and cover above-ground pipes so they do not freeze, the National Weather Service advises.
