Temperatures have warmed above freezing, thus the freeze warning will be allowed to expire. October 15th marks the end of the local growing season across western and central North Dakota. Therefore, the National Weather Service in Bismarck will no longer issue Freeze Watches and Freeze Warnings this Fall Season. Although some area have not experienced a hard freeze, average low temperatures across western and central North Dakota drop below freezing around October 15th and continue falling quickly through the end of the month. We will start issuing Frost Advisories, Freeze Watches and Freeze Warnings once again in the Spring of 2022. The local growing season usually begins around the first or second week of May. $$ Schild
