Why No Frost/Freeze Advisories?

Last night we had a FREEZE WARNING for the entire region because temperatures fell into the upper 20's and lower 30's. Temperatures actually did end up falling below freezing this morning across the Stateline. That led the National Weather Service to saying that the growing season is officially over as the freeze was labeled a killing freeze, which is technically when an area experiences at least two consecutive hours of temperatures at our below 30 degrees. This occurred last night for the entire area.

Once the NWS states that the growing season is over, there is no longer a need to issue frost/freeze weather advisories. The only caveat to that is if the first freeze occurs prior to November 1st. If the season's first freeze occurs before November 1st, and then a period of warm weather occurs, the National Weather Service has the option to issue frost/freeze advisories when the next freeze event happens. Therefore, with the anticipated much warmer temperatures this week and for the foreseeable future, we may see frost/freeze advisories utilized again when we see freezing temperatures move back into the Stateline.

After tonight's freezing temperatures, I do not foresee any temperatures in the 30's for the next week and beyond.
