How Residents Should Prepare
-
Protect plants: Cover or bring indoors any sensitive vegetation to prevent frost damage.
-
Focus on low-lying spots: Cold air tends to settle in valleys and shaded areas, making them more prone to frost formation.
-
Check gardens & crops: Gardeners and farmers should take precautions to protect late-season crops from potential harm.
While this won’t be a widespread freeze, localized cold pockets could still cause significant damage to plants and gardens.
Quick Warm-Up Expected
The cold spell is expected to be short-lived, with temperatures rebounding quickly after sunrise on Saturday. However, forecasters note this early-season frost may signal more frequent overnight temperature dips as the region heads toward fall.
The National Weather Service may issue additional frost advisories next week if similar conditions develop.
