Frost Advisory Ends as Finger Lakes Enjoy Fall Warmth
US · Published Oct 21, 2026
• The Finger Lakes region started the day with frosty conditions, as temperatures dipped to 34°F (1°C) in areas like Corning, Elmira, Hornell, and Bath under clear skies and calm winds.
• A Frost Advisory, which covered Auburn and Wayne County, expired by 9 AM ET.

Impact & Risks

The frosty start posed risks to sensitive vegetation, particularly in areas where temperatures fell to 34°F (1°C). Commuters in the Chemung and Steuben valleys may have encountered shallow, localized fog near water sources early in the morning. However, the fog was short-lived and did not significantly impact travel. With temperatures rebounding to near 60°F (16°C) this afternoon, risks are minimal, though another chilly night is expected, which could again threaten outdoor plants.
