The Hydrometeorological Prediction Center warns in today's extended range forecast discussion that "a significant agricultural threat continues to Mid-Atlantic peach crop Friday into Sunday" with temperatures that may fall into the 20s or even lower from North Carolina northward. "A similar cold outbreak 9-10 April 1985 caused widespread serious damage to peach crop," the HPC further states.

The Climate Prediction Center is also warning about threat of a killing frost over a wide area of the central and eastern United States. Click here for larger version of inset map.
