The first map below shows the average date of the first 36° temperature in the fall and the second map below shows the average date of the first 32° temperature in the fall. Combined these maps show a good time frame of the typical first fall frost (usually occurs with temperatures < 36° and light winds) is in late September to mid October. If the first fall frost of 2015 ends up being this Sunday, Oct 18, we would be close to that average time frame in many locations.
