Burlington, VT – Residents across northern New York and Vermont are being urged to prepare for frost and freeze conditions tonight and into Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service in Burlington.
Forecasters said a strong cold front that moved through Friday morning will bring the first widespread frost and freeze of the season. Freeze warnings are in effect for parts of the Adirondacks and Green Mountains, while surrounding areas are under frost advisories.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures tonight are expected to fall into the mid-20s to low-40s depending on elevation, with the coldest air in mountain valleys. Clear skies and calm winds will allow rapid cooling overnight. Gardeners and farmers are advised to protect sensitive plants from potential frost damage.
The weekend forecast calls for sunny skies both Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the low-to-mid 60s Saturday and climbing into the 70s by Sunday. Overnight lows, however, will remain chilly, dipping as low as the 20s in colder spots through Sunday morning.
No rain is expected through the weekend, but the return of near-freezing conditions in higher terrain could create hazards for travelers and outdoor plans in northern Vermont and New York.
