San Jose, CA – Residents of the Santa Clara Valley are urged to prepare for freezing temperatures overnight Monday into Tuesday. A frost advisory is in effect from midnight to 9 a.m. Tuesday, with temperatures expected to drop as low as 32 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service, the advisory covers San Jose and surrounding areas, including the Eastern Santa Clara Hills and East Bay Hills.
