frost advisory
Cold weather alert
A frost advisory is a weather alert issued when temperatures are expected to drop near or slightly below freezing, potentially damaging plants but not posing severe danger to people or property.
It's less urgent than a frost warning or freeze warning: The frost advisory means I should cover my tomatoes tonight.
Gardeners and farmers pay closest attention to these alerts during spring and fall.
