Frost alert impacting Oneida County on Saturday
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Frost Advisory for Oneida County, effective from Saturday 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. This means that a few low-lying areas could experience temperatures as low as freezing early on Saturday morning.
Overnight lows in Oneida County are expected to be between 32 and 36 degrees, making conditions favorable for frost development. The weather service warns that frost could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation, potentially killing them if left uncovered.
To protect your tender plants, the weather service advises taking the following steps:
- Cover up sensitive plants before the sun sets to retain heat near the plants.
- If possible, move sensitive plants indoors for the night.
- The weather service also suggests taking steps to protect tender plants from the cold, such as using frost cloths or blankets.
The Frost Advisory can be issued from May to October and can be extended if necessary. It's important to note that frost is most likely to happen when the temperature is 36 degrees or less. In some cases, the frost can be severe enough to end the growing season and is then referred to as a 'killing frost'.
The Advance Local Weather Alerts service, provided by United Robots, uses machine learning to compile the latest data from the National Weather Service. This service ensures that residents of Oneida County are kept informed about any weather-related advisories, helping them to take the necessary precautions to protect their property and outdoor plants.
Residents are encouraged to stay tuned to the latest weather updates and to take the necessary steps to protect their tender plants from the potential frost this weekend.
