NOAA 1991–2020 freeze normals
Frost Dates in Tennessee
Last and first frost at the 137 NOAA stations behind this site's Tennessee pages.
At the middle station of the 137 in Tennessee where a freeze comes every year, the last spring frost (50%) is April 7 and the first fall frost October 29, a freeze-free season of 204 days. The last frost is earliest at Memphis (Memphis International Airport, TN, March 16) and latest at Roan Mountain (Roan Mountain 3SW, TN, April 30), 45 days apart. The season runs from 165 days at Roan Mountain to 244 at Memphis.
103 of these stations were also in NOAA's previous normals, for 1981–2010. Between the two, the median station's freeze-free season grew 5 days longer, with the last spring frost 3 days earlier and the first fall frost 2 days later; the season lengthened at 83 stations and shortened at 16. The two periods share twenty years, so the change reflects mostly 2011–2020 against 1981–1990.

50% dates from NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020, one row per station; a state page is published when at least 5 stations stand behind its pages. Where a freeze comes in fewer than nine winters in ten, the dates describe the winters that have one.
