Brace for a Frosty Morning: Advisory Issued for Southern Oregon!

Southern Oregon is gearing up for a chilly start to Sunday, as the National Weather Service has issued a widespread Frost Advisory. From 2 AM PDT to 9 AM PDT on Sunday, residents in several key areas are urged to take precautions as temperatures are expected to dip, creating conditions ripe for frost formation.

This advisory primarily targets Northern and Eastern Klamath County, Western Lake County, Central and Eastern Lake County, along with the Southern Oregon Cascades, Siskiyou Mountains, and South Central Oregon Cascades.

Specific communities that will feel the chill include Chemult, Crescent, Gilchrist, Fort Rock, Silver Lake, Summer Lake, Adel, Paisley, Valley Falls, Plush, and Quartz Mountain. Travelers on portions of Highway 97, Highway 31, and those near Lake of the Woods should also be aware of the frosty conditions.

The primary concern with this frost advisory is the potential harm to sensitive outdoor vegetation.

If left uncovered or unprotected, delicate plants can suffer significant damage or even perish due to the cold temperatures. Gardeners and plant enthusiasts are strongly encouraged to act proactively to safeguard their beloved flora.

To prepare for the impending chill, consider bringing potted plants indoors, covering garden beds with frost cloths, old blankets, or even newspapers, and ensuring that any irrigation systems are turned off to prevent ice formation.

Protecting these plants now will save them from the brunt of the cold snap.

As Sunday dawns, the advisory lifts at 9 AM PDT, but the early morning hours will be critical. Stay warm, protect your plants, and be mindful of the crisp, cold air blanketing our beautiful region.
