...Patchy Frost Late Tonight into Tuesday Morning...

The combination of clear skies, cool and dry air, and light winds
will allow temperatures to fall into the mid 30s in sheltered and
low lying, rural areas. This will be cold enough for patchy frost
formation. Those with sensitive vegetation should consider taking
precautions tonight.
