Most Of NJ To Be Under Freeze Watch, Warning
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Just days after temperatures soared into the mid 70s, New Jerseyans are now bracing for some much colder weather.
The National Weather Service says a cold front that was moving through the area on Sunday will be followed by a large chilly air mass. That will drop overnight lows into the high 20s and low 30s in most areas.
That's spurred forecasters to issue a freeze warning for most northern Jersey counties, which will be in effect from midnight Sunday to 10 a.m. Monday.
Meanwhile, many southern areas will be under a frost advisory that will be in effect Monday from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m.
Forecasters say the colder temperatures could damage or kill crops and sensitive vegetation. They urge residents to move plants indoors if possible.
