4Warn Weather – Cold air will threaten vegetation in Southeast Michigan Thursday night and Friday morning.
Frost Advisory
A Frost Advisory will be in effect from midnight until 9 a.m. Friday for much of Southeast Michigan, including Genesee, Lapeer, Sanilac, St. Clair, Livingston, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw,, and Lenawee counties.
Temperatures are forecast to fall into the lower to mid-30s in the advised area.
If left unprotected, frost could damage and kill tender plants. Potted plants can be taken into the garage. Other vulnerable vegetation should be covered with fabric propped up above the plants.

A Freeze Warning will impact portions of Mid-Michigan and all of Northern Michigan, such as Bay City, Midland, Mt. Pleasant, Ludington, Cadillac, Tawas City, Traverse City, Gaylord, and Alpena.
The near-freezing weather is cooler than Friday’s average low of 48 degrees in Metro Detroit.
