Frost Advisory Saturday Morning for northern Missouri

Conditions are starting to come together that will result in temperature dropping pretty quickly a bit later tonight, and there is a good chance NE KS & NW MO may see those Saturday morning temps drop into the mid 30s. That means those areas could see some patchy frost develop tomorrow morning, especially in low-lying areas. Cover those sensitive plants tonight if you can!
