The National Weather Service issued a frost advisory at 8:03 a.m. on Sunday valid for Monday between 1 a.m. and 9 a.m. for Upper Hood River Valley.

The weather service says to anticipate, “Overnight low temperatures of 34 to 36 degrees will result in frost formation.”

“Frost could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation. Sensitive outdoor plants may be killed if left uncovered,” describes the weather service. “Take steps now to protect tender outdoor plants from the cold.
