Frost Advisory
Statement as of 11:15 am PDT on October 11, 2008


... Frost advisory in effect from midnight tonight to 10 am PDT
Sunday...

A cold and dry airmass will combine with little or no wind
to allow early morning temperatures to fall to near freezing.
Most interior coastal valley locations will experience lows
ranging from 33 to 36... while more sheltered areas could see
temperatures dip below freezing for a couple hours around sunrise.
The airmass is expected to warm slightly on Sunday... however some
areas may still experience sub-freezing temperatures.

A frost advisory means that although temperatures may remain
above freezing... frost is still possible. Sensitive outdoor plants
may be killed if left uncovered.
