State College, PA – A frost advisory is in effect from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday across parts of western Pennsylvania, including Cambria, Clearfield, Elk, McKean, Somerset, and Warren counties. Low temperatures as cold as 32°F are expected, leading to frost formation that could damage sensitive outdoor vegetation.
According to the National Weather Service, the cold overnight temperatures could potentially harm plants if left uncovered. Residents are urged to take protective measures to safeguard tender plants, especially those in gardens or on patios.
Cities such as Johnstown, DuBois, Bradford, and Somerset are expected to be impacted, with temperatures dipping to freezing or near-freezing levels. The frost could be particularly harmful to young plants, flowers, or other vulnerable outdoor vegetation.
To prevent damage, gardeners and homeowners are encouraged to bring sensitive plants indoors or cover them with frost cloths, tarps, or blankets before the temperatures drop.
The frost advisory remains in effect until 8 a.m. Saturday, and more weather alerts could follow if conditions change. Stay updated through local weather services for further updates.
