Caution WEATHER STATION CAUTION: FROST or heavy DEW warning conditions have been met
Condensation and small water drops form on grass and other objects near the ground when the temperature has fallen to the dew point. This can turn into frost (ice crystals) when temperature is below freezing. This can cause a slipping hazard on some surfaces.
