Gaylord, MI – Residents across northern Michigan are waking up to a Frost Advisory in effect through Saturday morning. Unseasonably cold temperatures could impact early travelers and gardeners as widespread frost settles across the area.
According to the National Weather Service, the advisory is in effect until 8 a.m. Saturday for the northern Lower Peninsula. Areas impacted include Alpena, Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, Kalkaska, Otsego, Presque Isle, and Roscommon counties.
