Cold overnight conditions were forecast, with several local weather outlets warning of frost or freezing temperatures into Sunday morning.

WKYT and WLKY also predicted a chilly night with possible frost or a frost advisory. WFMZ forecast frost and freeze conditions followed by a sunny, dry but cool Sunday, and ClickOnDetroit expected a frosty morning before a warm and sunny afternoon.

Farther west and south, KOAT forecast a freezing start to the morning followed by warmer afternoon temperatures, while News Channel 6 predicted another cold night and a warmer afternoon Sunday. Clearer skies and sunshine were expected to accompany the daytime warmup in several areas.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Remove unsupported state locations while preserving the weather forecasts supported by the source titles. - "across parts of Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Mexico and Texas": The supplied source material does not identify all six states; only Columbus is explicitly named. - "LEX 18 reported frost and freeze warnings in Kentucky": The LEX 18 source title supports the warnings but does not specify Kentucky.
