Raleigh, NC – The National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory for central North Carolina, including the Piedmont, western Sandhills, and northern Coastal Plain. The advisory is in effect from midnight to 9 a.m. EDT Friday, with temperatures expected to drop into the mid-30s, leading to frost formation.
The advisory affects areas like Greensboro, Durham, and Winston-Salem. Frost may damage or kill sensitive outdoor vegetation if left uncovered.
Residents are urged to take precautions by covering plants or bringing them indoors. Urban areas, particularly within the Triad, may not experience as much frost due to warmer temperatures. However, rural areas are at higher risk of frost damage.
Prepare for chilly conditions overnight and protect vulnerable outdoor plants.
