Due to the potential first frost and freeze of the season, the WITN First Alert Weather Team are calling for early Tuesday and Saturday night, First Alert Weather Days.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0RW3aF_1GuhrdvH00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0RW3aF_1GuhrdvH00" width="1300" height="729" ><figcaption>Calm winds, clear skies and colder temperatures may lead to widespread frost across the region (WITN Weather)</figcaption></figure>Frost forms when skies clear and winds go light.
