The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for the entire region from late Friday night into Saturday morning. A cold front that moved through on Friday morning has brought a very chilly air mass to the region today, and temperatures are forecast to fall into the 20’s overnight with widespread frost likely.
With temperatures expected below freezing and the development of frost, the growing season will effectively end across the entire area. If you have any plants outside that you would like to save past tonight, it is advised that you bring them inside to protect them from the cold.
The good news is that this shot of cold air won’t last and we will warm back into the 60’s by Sunday. That comes with a price though, as more showers are in the forecast.
Note – A freeze warning is not in effect for the higher elevations of the Adirondacks because the growing season has already ended there.
