Cool today with a frost advisory on the way

PROVIDENCE – It’s colder, and the days are getting shorter, that’s for sure.

Now we also have to worry about frost, so if you have any last-minute gardening that needs to be done, get out there this afternoon. The National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory for much of coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including Narragansett Bay but not Block Island or Nantucket.

In effect from midnight tonight to 8 a.m. tomorrow, a frost advisory means frost is expected to develop during the growing season. Be advised to harvest or protect tender vegetation and to protect potted plants normally kept outside by covering them or bringing them inside away from the cold.

Aside from the frost worries, it’s just a chilly day today. It’s currently about 39 degrees and expected to rise to 60 degrees later today – the warmest predicted temperature for the next five days.
