Greenville, SC — A frost advisory has been issued for several counties in western South Carolina, with temperatures expected to dip as low as 34 degrees overnight. The advisory, effective from midnight until 9 a.m. Tuesday, covers areas such as Swain, Haywood, Macon, and Transylvania counties. Residents are encouraged to take precautions to protect sensitive plants, as frost could form in the early morning hours.
The National Weather Service warns that any uncovered outdoor plants could be significantly damaged by the cold. Sensitive vegetation, including flowers, fruits, and tender crops, could perish if exposed to these near-freezing temperatures. Gardeners are advised to cover their plants with frost blankets, plastic sheets, or even household items like towels to prevent damage.
Frost advisories in October signal the arrival of cooler autumn weather. According to forecasters, the cold snap may continue for a few days, so residents should monitor temperatures throughout the week.
