Good evening,

There is potential for a radiation (white) frost event this early Wednesday morning (April 11) in the NC Foothills, Mountains (Fig 1), as well as in Central VA and MD (Fig 2). Take a look at Morganton, NC Morganton Frost Wed and we can see “F” (frost) potential at 5 a.m. (with a low of 36 F). Similarly, in Ashland, VA, there is potential for frost at 5 a.m., and winds will be dead calm and skies CLEAR. If temperatures cool to 32 F, or below at strawberry canopy level, then it could definitely FROST. Ashland VA Wed

Growers in MD, DE and NJ could also be at risk for FROST this Wed morning! In Salisbury, MD, there will be a low of 37 F (weather shelter) and winds will be quite calm. AWIS is presently forecasting FROST at 5 a.m. in Salisbury.Salisbury MD Wed
