Frost Advisory Issued For Roseburg Area Early Friday
A Frost Advisory has been issued for central Douglas County from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. Friday, with temperatures expected to dip to around 32 degrees. Forecasters warn frost could damage or kill sensitive outdoor plants if left unprotected.
Residents across central Douglas County, including Roseburg, Sutherlin, Myrtle Creek, Glendale, Drain, Elkton, Winchester, Canyonville and nearby communities, are being urged to protect sensitive outdoor plants as a Frost Advisory takes effect early Friday morning. The National Weather Service in Medford issued the advisory just after midnight Thursday.
The advisory is in effect from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. Friday, April 3 for central Douglas County. Forecasters say temperatures could drop to around 32 degrees, with some of the colder spots south of Canyonville - including Glendale, Azalea and Tiller - potentially falling to around 30 degrees.
According to the weather service, those temperatures are cold enough to allow frost to form and could damage or kill sensitive vegetation left uncovered.
The advisory covers much of central Douglas County, including Roseburg, Green, Sutherlin, Canyonville, Drain, Winchester, Umpqua, Elkton, Myrtle Creek and Glendale.
Officials recommend taking steps now to protect tender plants before temperatures drop overnight. Covering exposed vegetation or bringing potted plants indoors may help prevent frost damage. The National Weather Service’s zone forecast for Central Douglas County also shows a cooler, unsettled pattern heading into Friday and the weekend.
