Special Weather Statement Issued For Hartford/Tolland County

NORTHERN CONNECTICUT — The National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory from 1 a.m. until 8 a.m. Sunday for Hartford, Tolland and Windham counties.

"Temperatures as low as 35 will result in frost formation," the weather service said. "Frost could kill sensitive outdoor vegetation if left uncovered....Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold."

Also a special weather statement is issued due to an elevated fire weather threat this weekend.

"The prolonged dry weather across southern New England has resulted in very low live and dead fuel moisture. With low relative humidity and gusty winds Sunday, any fires which escape initial
containment and become established, could potentially become serious. Consult your local fire warden if planning any outdoor burning this weekend."
