CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, Nov. 13, 2026 — The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for mainland Cape May County from midnight tonight until 9 a.m. Saturday, with temperatures expected to fall as low as 28 to 32 degrees.

The warning covers the Weather Service's inland Cape May County zone. Its coastal zone, which takes in the barrier islands, the back-bay marshes and the southern tip of the peninsula around Cape May, isn't included.

Frost and freezing temperatures could kill crops and other sensitive plants and could damage unprotected outdoor plumbing, forecasters said. The Weather Service advises taking steps now to protect tender plants from the cold.

The cold follows a raw, rainy Friday, with northwest winds gusting to 35 mph. Rain is expected to taper off this evening. Saturday should be partly sunny and breezy, with highs around 50.

A coastal flood advisory also remains in effect for the county until 3 p.m. today, with minor tidal flooding expected in low-lying areas along the shore, the bays and tidal waterways. The Weather Service warns drivers not to park in spots prone to tidal flooding or drive through floodwater.
