Frost could kill uncovered plants early Tuesday in the colder parts of Anchorage and the Matanuska Valley, where the National Weather Service expects temperatures as low as 29 degrees between 2 am and 9 am. Gardeners have Monday to cover anything tender.

Most of Anchorage and the valley should stay above freezing. The cold pockets are the usual ones: Butte, Muldoon, Campbell Tract and the Eagle River Valley.

It is a few days early. Anchorage does not typically see temperatures drop into the 30s until around Sept. 5.
