Essex County, VT – A cold snap is expected to bring frost to parts of northern Vermont early Friday morning, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Burlington.
The agency issued a Frost Advisory for Essex County, including the towns of Island Pond and Lunenburg, from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. Friday, September 12. Forecasters say temperatures could dip as low as 34 degrees, creating conditions for frost formation.
According to the NWS, the frost could damage or kill sensitive vegetation if left uncovered. Gardeners and homeowners are advised to take protective measures such as covering plants or moving them indoors overnight.
While widespread freeze conditions are not expected, the advisory highlights the first signs of autumn weather in the region. Residents in low-lying and rural areas may notice frost accumulation on lawns, windshields, and rooftops early Friday morning.
The advisory serves as a reminder that cooler temperatures are beginning to settle into northern New England. More seasonal weather patterns, including chilly overnight lows, are likely to continue in the coming weeks.
Residents are encouraged to stay alert for additional weather updates and take precautions to protect outdoor plants ahead of Friday morning’s frost.
