Frost dates for Guy, AR, ZIP 72061

Zone 8a

Around 04/02 is the usual last spring frost, about 217 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/02, about 215 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Guy in Zone 8a (10 to 15°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 8a around Guy has about 9 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 04/02 isn't a guarantee

04/02 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/13 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/19 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
