What is a frost advisory?

A Frost Advisory is issued when the minimum temperature is forecast to be 33 to 36 degrees on clear and calm nights during the growing season.

A Frost Advisory is issued in the autumn until the end of the growing season (marked by the occurrence of first widespread freeze). 

A Frost Advisory is issued in the spring at the start of the growing season (when it is late enough to cause damage to new plants and crops).

Most of Metro Detroit is under a frost advisory from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday, May 11, 2019. (WDIV)
