A frost advisory has been issued for northern counties in our area.

The National Weather Service in Hastings, Neb., has issued a frost advisory in effect from 4-9 a.m.Thursday for the following counties in our area.

Jewell County

Mitchell County

Temperatures as low as 32 to 36 degrees could result in areas of frost formation.

Although frost is certainly possible in the advisory area, it is not a sure thing to occur. This is mainly due to some lingering uncertainty regarding whether winds will become light enough, and skies clear enough to allow efficient frost development.

Frost could kill sensitive outdoor vegetation if left uncovered.
