The National Weather Service in Buffalo has issued a frost advisory for Orleans County and much of upstate New York tonight.

The advisory is in effect for Orleans from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. with temperatures in the mid and upper 30s that will result in frost formation.

“The greatest threat for frost will be well inland away from the cities and Lake Ontario,” the Weather Service stated.

The frost could kill sensitive outdoor vegetation if left unprotected. The Weather Service advises people to take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold.
