FLOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WMDJ) — After a stretch of unusually warm October weather, colder temperatures could bring the season's first significant frost to eastern Kentucky Sunday morning.

The National Weather Service in Jackson says frost is possible Saturday night into Sunday, especially in colder valleys and hollows.

According to the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, tender plants and flowers can suffer damage when temperatures approach freezing.

Residents with hanging baskets, potted flowers or houseplants that have spent the summer outdoors should consider bringing them inside before Saturday night. Summer flowers, including impatiens and begonias, may also need protection.

For plants that cannot be moved, experts recommend covering them with bedsheets, lightweight blankets or frost cloths before sunset Saturday. Covers should reach the ground and be removed once temperatures warm Sunday morning.

Gardeners with remaining tomatoes or peppers may also want to harvest them before the cold arrives.

However, cool-weather plants such as pansies, ornamental cabbage and kale generally tolerate light frost.
