Weather advisory issued for parts of southern Ontario [Video]

This morning, a frost advisory is in effect for several regions across southern Ontario as temperatures are expected to drop to near the freezing mark.

Environment Canada is urging residents in frost-prone areas to take protective measures, especially for sensitive plants and crops that could be damaged by early-morning frost.

Areas under the advisory include:

• Uxbridge
• Beaverton
• Northern Durham Region
• Caledon
• Guelph
• Erin
• Southern Wellington County
• Kitchener
• Cambridge
• Region of Waterloo
• Stratford
• Mitchell

Officials recommend covering or bringing in plants where possible to minimize frost damage, particularly in low-lying or rural areas more susceptible to rapid overnight cooling.

The advisory is expected to lift later this morning as temperatures rise with daylight.
