Caribou, ME – Northern New England and upstate New York will face the first freeze warning of the 2025 fall season early Saturday, with temperatures expected to dip well below freezing in several locations.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), overnight lows from late Friday into Saturday morning will fall into the upper 20s and low 30s across the northern tier. Freeze warnings and frost advisories are now in effect for portions of Maine, Vermont, and upstate New York.
In Maine, NWS Caribou forecasted clear and cold conditions, with a freeze likely across the northwest and frost expected in many valleys. Lows will range from near freezing in the north to the low 40s along the coast. Another freeze is likely again Saturday night.
In upstate New York, NWS Albany issued a freeze warning for Hamilton County and frost advisories for northern Herkimer and Warren counties from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday. NWS Binghamton noted temperatures in the mid-30s for central New York, while NWS Buffalo reported frost advisories for Jefferson and Lewis counties. Vermont is also bracing for sub-freezing temperatures in elevated areas overnight.
Officials are urging residents to protect late-season gardens, outdoor plants, and sensitive vegetation. Pets, pipes, and outdoor water sources should also be secured against the overnight chill. Calm skies and light winds will allow for rapid radiational cooling, making frost and freezes more widespread.
Daytime highs Saturday will remain in the 60s, with sunshine returning Sunday and temperatures recovering slightly. Still, forecasters warn that cold nights will continue through the weekend.
