The National Weather Service in Portland has issued a frost
advisory... which is in effect from 6 am to 9 am PDT Saturday.

The coldest low temperatures of the early autumn season are
expected across southwest Washington and northwest Oregon this
weekend. The cold minimum temperatures will be the result of a
cold weather system that moved south out of the Gulf of Alaska
into the region.

On Saturday morning minimum temperatures are likely to be in the
lower to mid 30s with upper 20s possible in outlying areas away
from cities. Many locations are expected to see the first frost of
the fall season. Be sure to protect any tender or vulnerable
plants from the near freezing temperatures.

A frost advisory means that frost is possible. Sensitive outdoor
plants may be killed if left uncovered.
