The National Weather Service said a frost advisory is in effect tonight for the Westport area with temperatures forecast to continue to drop overnight under mostly clear skies and light winds.
Before daybreak Friday, readings are expected to be in the 30s—especially across areas away from the immediate coast, an advisory said.
Due to the recent warm weather, many plants have shown an explosive
green-up and budding and these young plants will be especially susceptible to frost, the statement said.
A frost advisory is issued when frost is expected to develop during the growing season. Those with agricultural interests in the warned area are advised to protect tender vegetation. Also, potted plants normally left outdoors should be covered or brought inside away from the cold, the advisory said.
