The National Weather Service's Frost Advisory, in effect until 9 AM EDT. Residents in northeast Georgia, western North Carolina, and upstate South Carolina faced similar cold conditions, with warnings that "frost could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation. Sensitive outdoor plants may be killed if left uncovered," according to the National Weather Service.

This morning was cool, with temperatures "as low as 34," leading to frost that formed overnight. The National Weather Service notes that this has become typical as we move deeper into fall. The light north-northeast wind didn’t bring much warmth to the quiet streets, but today’s high is expected to reach near 69 degrees.

As the frost advisory ends, locals can look forward to warmer temperatures, with highs rising from 71°F on Saturday to 78°F by Wednesday. Clear skies are expected at night, with lows in the mid to upper 40s. The National Weather Service predicts no hazardous weather for the week ahead, as Saturday through Thursday will remain calm, and no spotter activity will be needed.
