Wakefield, VA – A crisp November morning greets residents across southern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina, where a Frost Advisory remains in effect until 9 AM EDT Saturday. The National Weather Service in Wakefield reports that temperatures will settle into the mid-30s, allowing for patchy frost to develop in low-lying and sheltered areas.
The advisory covers Brunswick, Mecklenburg, Dinwiddie, Sussex, Greensville, and Southampton Counties in Virginia, along with Bertie, Hertford, and Northampton Counties in North Carolina. Under clear skies and calm winds, the setup is ideal for frost formation on lawns, rooftops, and windshields.
Residents are urged to cover sensitive plants, bring potted flowers indoors, and disconnect garden hoses to prevent damage. While no travel hazards are expected, drivers may notice light fog and frost on windshields during early commutes along I-95, I-85, and US-58.
The frost will quickly fade after sunrise as temperatures climb into the upper 50s and low 60s under bright sunshine. A gradual warming trend continues through Sunday, with highs near 70 by Monday — a brief return to mild fall weather before another cool front midweek.
This morning’s chill marks one of the first widespread frost events for the region, signaling the steady slide into early winter conditions across Southside Virginia and the Roanoke-Chowan area.
