Frost Advisory Issued for Virginia and West Virginia
The National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory for parts of southwest and west-central Virginia, as well as southeast West Virginia, set to take effect from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. EDT on Friday. Residents in these areas are advised to prepare for unseasonably cold temperatures reaching as low as 34 degrees Fahrenheit, which are expected to lead to frost conditions.
Concerns have been raised over the potential damage to sensitive outdoor vegetation, which could face significant harm if left unprotected. Gardeners and those with vulnerable outdoor plants are encouraged to take precautionary measures to shield them from the cold. These measures could include covering plants with protective materials to mitigate the risk.
This weather alert has been issued as part of a broader effort to inform residents of upcoming weather conditions that may impact daily activities and agricultural interests in the region. A spokesperson for the weather service emphasized the importance of taking these warnings seriously to avoid possible loss to horticultural investments.
