Buffalo, NY – A frost advisory has been issued for western New York, including Erie, Niagara, and other nearby counties. Temperatures are expected to drop into the mid-30s early Saturday morning, causing potential frost formation.
The National Weather Service stated that the advisory will last from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. Saturday. Frost could damage sensitive outdoor plants if they are left exposed to the cold overnight.
Gardeners and those with outdoor plants are advised to take action to protect their vegetation. The frost risk is especially high in inland regions and valleys, away from the moderating effect of the Great Lakes.
Residents should cover plants or move them indoors to prevent frost damage. Local officials are also encouraging people to monitor the forecast and stay prepared for the cold.
