Frost Advisory Issued Overnight For Much Of The Hudson Valley: NWS

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Frost is probable overnight as temperatures will drop, and the National Weather Service has issued an advisory for Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties.

The advisory will be in effect from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday. Overnight temperatures as low as 33 degrees will result in frost.

Since the frost could kill sensitive outdoor plants if left uncovered, the NWS recommends taking steps as soon as possible to protect tender plants from the cold.

Although we have enjoyed a mild autumn, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the frost advisory is right on time.

If you are in the lower Hudson Valley, Oct. 24 is the roughly the when the first frost is expected. If you are in the mid-Hudson valley, the date is even earlier: Oct. 14.

Those are the average dates of the first frost in the Hudson Valley, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, a time-tested publication offering a blend of long-range weather predictions mixed with humor and advice on gardening, cooking, fishing, conservation and other topics.
