La Crosse, WI – A frost advisory is in effect for multiple counties, including Taylor, Clark, and Monroe, from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. CDT on Monday. Temperatures in these areas will dip into the low to mid-30s, potentially dropping into the 20s in colder spots.
According to the National Weather Service, areas like Richland, Vernon, and Jackson counties should brace for frost formation, which could damage sensitive outdoor plants. Local residents are urged to take precautions, such as covering or bringing inside any tender vegetation to avoid harm.
This advisory follows a period of mild weather but serves as a reminder that cooler temperatures are now settling in. Residents in affected areas, including Black River Falls, Medford, and Mauston, should prepare for the sudden chill, which could lead to a hard freeze in lower-elevation regions.
The cold front is expected to lift by late morning, but gardeners and farmers should be mindful of potential plant loss. Taking immediate steps to protect outdoor vegetation could save crops and ornamental plants from frost damage.
