Frost advisory, freeze warning issued for several Ohio counties

The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a freeze warning or frost advisory for multiple Ohio counties for Thursday morning from midnight until 9 a.m.

Franklin, Fairfield, Madison and Pickaway counties in central Ohio are under a frost advisory Thursday morning, with temperatures expected to drop to as low as 33 degrees, which will result in the formation of frost.

A more serious freeze warning has been issued by the NWS for Delaware, Licking and Union counties in central Ohio, as well as Auglaize, Champaign, Hardin, Logan and Shelby counties. The warning means the NWS expects sub-freezing temperatures Thursday morning as low as 31 degrees.

The NWS advises residents of counties under either a freeze warning or frost advisory to take steps to protect their plants from the cold, including bringing potted plants inside and covering those outside. The buildup of frost could kill sensitive outdoor plants and vegetation if left uncovered.
