Some spots at the Jersey Shore will see some frost overnight.

With temperatures expected to drop into the middle 30s, the National Weather Service has issued a Frost Advisory for interior Atlantic, Ocean, and Monmouth counties.

The advisory is in effect between 2 and 9 a.m. Saturday, according to the service. It’s due to light winds and clear skies allowing ground-level heat to escape into the atmosphere.

Forecasters say that sensitive plants will be susceptible to damage and recommend covering the vegetation.
