Briefing
From the forecaster
Areas of Frost and Freeze this Morning
Created by the NWS Greenville-Spartanburg WFO
Confidence on frost formation is highest across the North Carolina mountains and northern Foothills. Confidence on frost development is lower across the northern North Carolina Piedmont as dry air may limit frost formation. Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.
