Freeze probability table
| Threshold | Last spring occurrence | First fall occurrence | Season length (days) 90% / 50% / 10% | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early (90% chance of a later freeze) | Median (50%) | Cautious (10% chance of a later freeze) | Early (10% chance by then) | Median (50%) | Late (90% chance by then) | ||
| 36°F (light frost possible) | Mar 3 | Mar 23 | Apr 7 | Oct 27 | Nov 8 | Nov 27 | 211 / 232 / 259 |
| 32°F (freeze) | Feb 16 | Mar 9 | Mar 27 | Nov 4 | Nov 20 | Dec 13 | 232 / 258 / 289 |
| 28°F (hard freeze) | Jan 27 | Feb 23 | Mar 17 | Nov 15 | Dec 6 | Jan 8 | 254 / 288 / 323 |
Read the spring “Cautious” column as the safer planting date: only about 1 year in 10 has a freeze after it. NOAA computes these from daily minimum temperatures at the station; your yard can differ, especially in low spots or at a different elevation.
