Texas Frost Dates: Last and First Frost by Town

477 NOAA weather stations · 1991–2020 U.S. Climate Normals · Data updated 2026-10-29

Quick answer

Across Texas's 476 NOAA stations with regular frost, the median last spring frost is March 14 and the median first fall frost is November 16. Last frost dates range from January 3 at Port Isabel to April 28 at Dalhart 6 SW, so enter your ZIP code below for the station nearest you.

How frost dates vary across Texas

Elevation matters: across Texas's stations, each 1,000 ft of elevation delays the median last frost by about 12 days.
North vs south: stations in the northern third of the state (north of 32.4°N) reach their median last frost about 41 days later than the southern third (south of 30.1°N).
Safety margin: the median 10%-risk date (April 4) is about 21 days after the median last frost. Waiting until then cuts the chance of a killing frost on tender transplants from 1 in 2 to 1 in 10.
Frost-free sites: 1 station rarely see 32°F at all.

Frequently asked questions

When is the last frost in Texas?

The median last spring frost (32°F) across Texas's NOAA weather stations is March 14, based on 1991–2020 climate normals. It ranges from January 3 at Port Isabel to April 28 at Dalhart 6 SW. For a safer planting date, use the 10%-risk date; the state median for that is April 4.

When is the first frost in Texas?

The median first fall frost across Texas's stations is November 16. The earliest median first frost is October 15 at Lipscomb, and the latest is January 8 at Corpus Christi NAS.

How long is the growing season in Texas?

The median frost-free season is 247 days across Texas's stations, from 170 days at Dalhart 6 SW to 365 days at WFO Brownsville.

When should I plant tomatoes in Texas?

Plant tomatoes outdoors after your local last frost, ideally after the 10%-risk date when nights stay above 50°F. At a typical Texas station that means starting seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before March 14 and transplanting from about April 4. Check your ZIP code, because dates vary by weeks across the state.

Does it frost everywhere in Texas?

No. At 1 station in Texas, 32°F nights were too rare in 1991–2020 to compute an average frost date, so those places are frost-free in most years.

How to use these dates

Frost dates are 30-year averages from NOAA, not forecasts. Use them to plan seed starting and planting, then watch the 10-day forecast as the date approaches. Cold air settles in valleys and low spots, so a garden at the bottom of a slope can frost a week or more later in spring than the nearest station shows.
