Frost dates for Worth, MO, ZIP 64499

Zone 5b

Around 04/20 is the usual last spring frost, about 235 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/19, about 181 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Worth in Zone 5b (-15 to -10°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

What to do before the first frost

Zone 5b around Worth has about 7 weeks left before the first fall frost — that's the usual window to get a cold frame up if you want to keep harvesting past it.

Why 04/20 isn't a guarantee

04/20 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/05 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/06 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
