NWS State College PA mentions frost possible in some locations. Its July!
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
1139 PM EDT THU JUL 24 2014
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
SKIES HAVE BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR AND TEMPS ARE FALLING OFF NICELY AS
EXPECTED. THE SET UP IS IDEAL FOR AN UNSEASONABLY COOL NIGHT WITH HIGH
PRESSURE...LIGHT WINDS AND PW AROUND 0.3" ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL
PA. HOURLY TEMPS ON TRACK FOR FORECAST MINS WITHIN A DEG OR TWO
OF RECORD MINS AT MANY PLACES EARLY FRIDAY.
SEE THE CLIMO SECTION FOR THE CURRENT RECORD MINS. THESE COLD
TEMPS ARE A CLASSIC SCENARIO FOR FOG IN THE NRN VALLEYS. THE AIR
WILL BE SO DRY THAT IT WILL MAKE IT TOUGH TO FOG IN. BUT
CLIMATOLOGY AND WATER TEMPS ARGUE STRONGLY FOR AT LEAST PATCHY
COVERAGE...SO WILL KEEP PATCHY FOG. THOSE COLD TEMPS IMMEDIATELY
AROUND KBFD COULD ALSO CREATE SOME FROST IN THE OPEN AREAS. WILL
ALSO MENTION PATCHY FROST BUT NOT GO ADVY BECAUSE OF THE LOW
PROBABILITY OF WIDESPREAD COVERAGE AND THE ALREADY- TENUOUS TEMP
FORECAST.
What is New Orleans? I've read that there is only like 10 frost per year on average there.
The first frost in New Orleans is December 11-20 on average. It's even later in the delta of the Mississippi River, where the first frost may not occur until January.
I would say this year we will see our first frost in late October already (last year it was very late with the first frost occuring at the end of November).
No doubt with the pattern we're in, we should be seeing an early frost this year in the Northeast. That's if it continues next 2 months.
JFK normal frost date is November 11. The earliest was October 9 in 2001.
My normal is mid October. I want to see one in September.
Danbury, CT (just north of me by 30 minutes) temps dropped to 35°F on September 24, 1998. Not sure if frost actually happened though.
