First frost of the season this weekend in the region
(WCYB) — Many of us saw our first frost of the season Sunday morning. More frost is possible Sunday night into Monday morning (October 19th, 2026). Frost Advisories or Freeze Warnings are in effect for part of the viewing area (north and east of the Tri-Cities). It's important to know that these same types of alerts are not issued by the National Weather Service in Morristown, TN when it is not unusual to see frost or freezing temperatures.
