The National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. EDT on Thursday. With temperatures expected to drop as low as 35 degrees, there’s a risk of frost that could harm your tender plants. Covering sensitive garden plants or bringing potted ones indoors could help protect them from the cold, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Today's forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with a comfortable high around 60 degrees and a brisk north wind gusting up to 21 mph. While the sunshine may tempt you outside, the chill in the air is a reminder of the frost approaching. Tonight, clear skies will only make it colder, with temperatures dropping to around 39 degrees, accompanied by a north wind of 6 to 8 mph. According to the National Weather Service, "Frost could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation. Sensitive outdoor plants may be killed if left uncovered." There’s also a detailed forecast for Charlotte, NC, on the National Weather Service website for those who want to track the incoming cold snap.
Looking ahead, the National Weather Service reports that the sun will continue to shine throughout the week and into the weekend, with temperatures steadily rising. By Sunday, we can expect a high near 74 degrees. However, it’s important to remember that a frost advisory is still in effect.
