The National Weather Service has issued a Frost Advisory for the Mother Lode and the Northern San Joaquin Valley through 10 AM this morning.
Temperatures as low as the upper twenties to mid thirties are resulting in frost formation. Frost can kill sensitive outdoor vegetation if left uncovered.
Apricots, pears, plums, peaches, and possibly cherries and prunes could be susceptible to frost damage. Nut trees are not likely to be impacted.
Chilly overnight and early morning temperatures are expected again Wednesday morning, with low temperatures just slightly higher in most locations.
Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold.
