New York, NY — Residents of Long Island, southern Connecticut, and New Jersey should prepare for a cold night as a frost advisory goes into effect from 1 a.m. to 8 a.m. Sunday. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued this advisory due to expected temperatures in the mid-30s across the region, posing risks to sensitive vegetation and outdoor plants.
According to the NWS, areas under advisory include eastern Long Island, coastal Connecticut, southern Westchester County, NY, and parts of Bergen County, NJ. With temperatures forecasted to plummet, frost formation is likely, especially in low-lying regions and near bodies of water. Homeowners and gardeners are urged to cover outdoor plants or bring them inside to prevent damage from the cold.
In addition to the frost advisory, forecasters predict temperatures will rebound slightly during the day on Sunday, reaching the upper 40s to low 50s under mostly sunny skies. However, the chilly trend is expected to continue into next week, with nightly lows dipping into the 30s in many areas through mid-week.
The extended forecast for New York and surrounding regions shows continued colder-than-average temperatures, with potential rain showers by Thursday. Residents are encouraged to take precautions by bundling up, checking outdoor faucets for freezing risk, and monitoring updates from local weather services.
The NWS advises checking for further updates, as frost advisories could impact commuting and outdoor activities early Sunday. Be prepared for changing road conditions, particularly on highways such as I-495 in Long Island, which may experience icy patches overnight.
Stay informed on current conditions through the NWS website or local media outlets to ensure a safe start to your Sunday morning.
