The National Weather Service issued a frost advisory at 9:02 p.m. on Wednesday valid for Thursday between midnight and 10 a.m. for Higher Elevations of Indiana and Beaver County.

The weather service says, “Temperatures in the low to middle 30s will result in frost formation.”

“Frost could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation. Sensitive outdoor plants may be killed if left uncovered,” comments the weather service. “Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold.”

Frost advisory – this is what it means

Frost advisories are issued from May to October (but can be extended if necessary) when temperatures, winds, and sky cover are favorable for frost development. This is most likely to happen when the temperature is 36 degrees or less. In some cases, the frost is severe enough to end the growing season and is then referred to as a ‘killing frost’.

According to the weather service, if a frost advisory is issued for your area, cover up sensitive plants before the sun sets so that it can help retain heat near the plants, or move the plants indoors for the night, if possible.
