Temperatures are set to plunge in the Northeast, setting off warnings about dangerously cold weather and possible property damage in several states. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued both freeze warnings and frost advisories in the northern parts of New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. Officials said summer temperatures will quickly drop into the 20s between 2am and 8am ET Saturday morning, potentially killing crops, outdoor vegetation, and possibly freezing outdoor pipes around homes and businesses.
Authorities have warned residents to avoid unnecessary travel as waters inundate transportation infrastructure. Flood warnings were issued due to heavy rain causing travel chaos and fatalities.
