South Carolina is bracing for freezing temperatures this Saturday, with the National Weather Service issuing a freeze watch for the region. The watch, which covers most of the state, including Rock Hill, is in effect as cold air moves into the area.
Residents are warned to take precautions to protect sensitive vegetation as temperatures are expected to drop below freezing overnight. This could have a significant impact on crops and other plants, particularly for those who have already started their spring planting.
The NWS recommends bringing in or covering any sensitive plants, disconnecting hoses from outdoor water sources, and taking other steps to prevent damage from the cold. Additionally, residents are advised to check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors to ensure they are prepared for the cold weather.
It is important for South Carolinians to stay informed and take necessary steps to protect themselves and their property during the freeze watch. The NWS will continue to provide updates on the situation as it develops.
