Overnight Frost Possible in Parts of MA: Weather Outlook Update

Fall is officially here, Massachusetts. The leaves might not be turning quite yet, but you'll be able to tell just by looking at your thermometer this evening.

According to the National Weather Service, overnight temps are about to get very chilly, dropping into the 30s inland with frost likely in certain areas.

That means you should take sensitive plants indoors if possible, or cover them up if outside.

The frost advisory is in effect from 2-8 a.m., according to NWS. They're looking at Franklin, northern Worcester, and the following counties: Hampshire, Hampden, northern Bristol, and western Plymouth.

Temperatures there are expected to land in the low to mid-30s, particularly in rural areas and low-lying suburbs.

The rest of this week is expected to be cooler, mostly in the 60s, with rain and clouds expected throughout most of the week.
