COLUMBUS, Ohio — With temperatures forecasted in the 30s early Wednesday morning, the National Weather Service has issued frost advisories for central Ohio counties.
The advisories will be in effect from 4 a.m. - 9 a.m.
Temperatures as low as 33 degrees will result in frost formation that could kill sensitive outdoor plants if left uncovered.
Wednesday will start to turn the corner toward milder weather, and after another chilly start, temps take a run at 70. Our first shot at showers arrives late Wednesday evening and into very early Thursday. We will see warmer temps Thursday and Friday, but also see a few chances for showers, including during First and Ten Friday evening.
What is a frost advisory?
Frost Advisories are issued by the National Weather Service when temperatures, winds and sky cover are favorable for widespread frost to develop. This is most likely when temperatures are less than or equal to 36 degrees.
The advisories are only issued by the NWS between May 1 and Oct. 20.
If a frost is sufficiently severe to end the growing season, it is commonly referred to as a 'killing frost.'
