Frost Advisory Issued for Tuesday Morning in Hackettstown

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ — The National Weather Service in Mount Holly announced a frost advisory will be in effect 2-9 a.m. Tuesday.

Residents should expect widespread frost with temperatures in the mid-30s late Monday night and into Tuesday morning.

Sensitive plants may be susceptible to damage if they're left outside, especially in temperatures below 40°F. Residents are advised to bring their plants indoors — even in their garage — if they can.

If you have to leave your plants outside, cover your plants with a bed sheet, a thin sheet of plastic, or whatever else you have around the house.

Residents can also moisten the soil around their plants this evening before the temperatures drop. Once the temperature drops, the moisture will condense into dew, which releases heat into the air.
