Muskegon, MI – A frost advisory remains in effect for much of central and southwest Michigan tonight as temperatures are expected to dip to 32°F, potentially harming tender plants. The advisory will last until 9 a.m. Friday, May 9.
According to the National Weather Service, frost formation is likely in the affected areas, which include cities like Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Muskegon, and Jackson. While the cold temperatures may seem mild to residents, they pose a significant risk to sensitive outdoor vegetation, which may be killed if left uncovered overnight.
Local gardeners and farmers are urged to take precautions by covering plants or bringing them indoors, especially those that are more susceptible to frost damage. The affected region spans several counties, including Kent, Ingham, and Allegan, where temperatures are expected to drop sharply after sunset.
Temperatures are forecasted to rise again by late morning, easing the frost risk. However, residents should remain vigilant for potential frost advisories or other weather updates from the National Weather Service as conditions may change.
