Frost Advisory Issued for Eastern North Carolina
The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Newport/Morehead City, North Carolina issued a frost advisory at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, valid for early Friday between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m.
The advisory applies to Northern Craven, Inland Onslow, Martin, Pitt, Washington, Greene, Beaufort, Duplin, Lenoir, and Jones counties.
“Temperatures as low as 34 degrees will result in frost formation.”
“Frost could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation. Sensitive plants may be killed if left uncovered. Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold.”
Frost advisories are typically issued from May to October, though they can be extended if conditions require it. Such advisories are most common when temperatures fall to 36 degrees or below, with calm winds and clear skies encouraging frost development. In extreme cases, a heavy frost may bring an end to the growing season, known as a “killing frost.”
The NWS recommends covering or moving sensitive plants indoors before sunset to help preserve residual heat and protect them from overnight frost.
