BAD AXE, Mich. (AP) - Summer may be just six weeks away, but parts of Michigan's Lower Peninsula are facing the threat of a hard freeze that could kill crops.
A National Weather Service freeze warning says a high pressure system will move into the Great Lakes overnight.
It says light winds and clearing skies will let temperatures drop into the freezing range by just before daybreak Monday.
The weather service says the result could be "widespread frost formation with a freeze across the northern Saginaw Valley and Thumb" in an area including Bay, Huron and Midland counties.
The weather service warning covers Bad Axe, Bay City and Midland.
Twelve other lower Michigan counties are under a frost advisory.
