The National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory for Bucks County, effective from 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Thursday. Temperatures are expected to drop as low as 33 degrees, creating favorable conditions for frost to develop. Sensitive plants and crops are particularly vulnerable to frost damage, and residents are urged to take precautions to protect them.
Frost advisories are typically issued during the cooler months when temperatures and weather conditions are conducive to frost formation. They serve as a warning to gardeners, farmers, and homeowners to take appropriate measures to protect their plants from freezing temperatures. In some cases, frost can be severe enough to end the growing season prematurely, known as a ‘killing frost.’
To mitigate the effects of frost, the National Weather Service recommends covering up sensitive plants before sunset to retain heat and minimize exposure to cold temperatures. If possible, plants should be moved indoors overnight for added protection. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the weather forecast and follow the guidance provided by the National Weather Service to protect their plants and crops from frost damage.
