Vermont Weather Alert: Frost Advisory Issued for Essex County Early Friday Morning

ESSEX COUNTY, VERMONT – Northern Vermont residents are being urged to prepare for early frost conditions as the National Weather Service in Burlington has issued a Frost Advisory for Friday, September 12, from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m.

Cold Snap to Bring First Signs of Fall

Forecasters warn that temperatures in Essex County, including Island Pond and Lunenburg, could dip to around 34°F overnight, creating the potential for frost formation. This marks one of the first major signs of autumn weather settling into New England.

Risk to Plants and Outdoor Items

According to the NWS, the expected frost could damage or kill sensitive vegetation if not protected. Homeowners and gardeners are encouraged to cover outdoor plants or bring them indoors overnight.

Residents may also notice frost accumulation on rooftops, windshields, and lawns by early morning, especially in low-lying and rural areas.

Seasonal Outlook

While this advisory does not call for widespread freeze conditions, it serves as a seasonal reminder that overnight lows will trend colder in the weeks ahead. Cooler temperatures and additional advisories are likely as fall weather patterns take hold across northern New England.

With the frost advisory in place, Essex County residents are urged to take precautions Thursday night to protect plants and sensitive outdoor items. For the latest on regional weather and safety updates, follow ChicagoMusicGuide.com.
