The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a freeze warning across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic states, including Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. This warning is due to an approaching cold front moving over the lower Great Lakes and the northeastern United States, bringing a wintry mix with the possibility of moderate to heavy snow and gusty winds. AccuWeather meteorologist Peyton Simmers has highlighted the risk of frost and freeze conditions in the coming mornings, which could be detrimental to sensitive plants.
