Lake County, IL – A frost advisory will take effect in Lake County, Illinois, from 1 a.m. to 8 a.m. Friday, potentially putting sensitive outdoor plants at risk. The National Weather Service warns that temperatures will dip low enough to cause widespread frost, especially in areas away from the Lake Michigan shoreline.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will be cold enough to damage tender vegetation, particularly in suburban areas like Mundelein, Gurnee, Buffalo Grove, and Waukegan. The frost may threaten early-season plants if they are not protected.
Residents are urged to take precautions by covering or bringing in plants that may be vulnerable to frost damage. This advisory covers all of Lake County, and temperatures are expected to drop quickly after midnight. For those in the area with outdoor gardens, this could be the last chance to protect tender plants before the cold sets in.
The frost advisory is in place through 8 a.m. Friday, and additional weather alerts could follow if conditions change. Stay tuned for updates from local authorities and the National Weather Service.
