Residents across portions of the Foothills, Piedmont, and the northern half of Alabama are being advised to take precautions against patchy frost and potential freezing conditions expected tonight and into Monday morning. The National Weather Service and local meteorologists have issued Frost Advisories and Freeze Warnings, highlighting temperatures that could drop into the 33-39 degree range, with some areas experiencing temperatures in the 33-36 degree range. These conditions could damage sensitive plants and tender crops. The growing season has officially begun in the northern half of central North Carolina, prompting additional warnings to protect outdoor plants. Temperatures will also drop below freezing across the NC mountains, but the growing season has not officially started across that area yet. The warnings have been widely communicated through hashtags such as #ncwx, #scwx, #gawx, #cltwx, #wcnc, and #garden.
