Awaiting First Freeze

Posted:

For a decent portion of the state, the chilliest temperatures this fall season happened over a month ago back around the 7th of September! Practically the entire state has yet to see a sub freezing temperature this fall. The featured map presents a smoothed analysis of mostly NWS COOP reporting stations for the minimum temperature since the first of September. A couple of 31°F temperatures are shown, but the vast majority of stations have reported values safely above freezing. The near term forecast has not much in the way of chilly weather, so the wait for the first freeze will continue.
