Frost dates for Cash, AR, ZIP 72421

Zone 8a

Around 03/27 is the usual last spring frost, about 211 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/05, about 224 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Cash 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 Cash has about 10 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 03/27 isn't a guarantee

03/27 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/10 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/10 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
