Southeast Michigan – A Frost Advisory is in effect for several counties in southeastern Michigan, including Port Huron, Saginaw, Flint, and Ann Arbor, from midnight tonight until 9 a.m. Friday. Temperatures are expected to dip into the mid 30s, which could lead to frost formation, particularly in areas west and north of metro Detroit.
According to the National Weather Service, sensitive outdoor plants are at risk of damage or destruction if left uncovered during these cold hours. The advisory affects areas along the Thumb, I-69, M-59, and US-23 corridors, stretching from Port Huron down to Washtenaw County.
Residents in these areas are urged to take precautions to protect tender plants by bringing them indoors or covering them with cloth or plastic. The cold conditions are expected to last overnight and into early Friday morning. While frost is not uncommon in May, this early-season chill may catch gardeners off guard.
This advisory could be updated depending on temperatures or further developments. Keep an eye on local weather reports for the latest information.
