URGENT UPDATE: The frost advisory for Osceola and Clare counties will expire at 9 a.m. EDT today, according to the National Weather Service. With temperatures on the rise, the risk for frost has officially ended.
Residents in the affected areas should take note: frost advisories are typically issued between May and October, but can be extended based on weather conditions. Such advisories are declared when temperatures drop to 36 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, creating favorable conditions for frost development. In severe cases, this can lead to a ‘killing frost,’ which may end the growing season for sensitive plants.
The National Weather Service emphasizes that if a frost advisory is issued, homeowners should protect their plants by covering them up before sunset or moving them indoors overnight. This simple action can help retain heat and safeguard against potential damage.
As temperatures improve and the frost threat diminishes, local gardeners can breathe a sigh of relief. However, it’s essential to stay informed about ongoing weather developments.
Stay tuned for the latest updates and ensure your gardens are safe as we transition into warmer weather.
