Columbia, SC – The National Weather Service in Columbia has issued a Frost Advisory from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. EDT Saturday, warning of temperatures dipping as low as 36°F across parts of central South Carolina and east-central Georgia.
According to the NWS, the advisory includes areas such as Columbia, Lexington, Aiken, Augusta, Newberry, Camden, and Lancaster, where early-morning frost is expected to develop before sunrise Saturday.
Residents are urged to cover sensitive outdoor plants and take precautions to protect vegetation that could be damaged or killed by frost. While temperatures will rise quickly after daybreak, exposed gardens and crops may not withstand the overnight chill.
The advisory affects several counties, including Richland, Lexington, Saluda, Aiken, Chesterfield, McCormick, Newberry, and Edgefield in South Carolina, as well as Columbia, Lincoln, McDuffie, and Richmond counties in Georgia.
This marks one of the first widespread frost events of the season for the Midlands and CSRA, signaling a colder start to November and an early end to the growing season for some areas.
