frost warning

Cold weather advisory

A frost warning is an advisory issued by weather services when temperatures are expected to drop low enough to damage crops and sensitive plants, typically at or below freezing.

Gardeners hearing a frost warning know to cover plants or bring them indoors: There's a frost warning tonight, so I'm covering the tomatoes.
