If my dad were still around, he'd be concerned about his tomato plants because he was always stressed about his garden. There's a new map showing what would be an early freeze impacting Missouri a bit earlier than normal.

This new prediction for how fast Missouri will see freezing temperatures this Fall comes from YouTube channel Direct Weather. With way more than a quarter million subscribers, there are many who rely on his forecasts for many things including storms and seasonal changes. He just dropped his prediction for the upcoming Fall and he started with the average times when each part of America will see the first freezing temperatures. Note for Missouri that the first freeze normally hits in October depending on what part of the state you live in.

Here's his forecast for this Fall as he projects nearly all of Missouri to see below average temperatures and to see freezing temps sooner rather than later.

I would highly recommend you watch his explanation as to why nearly all of Missouri can expect a colder than usual Fall. Perhaps covering those tomato plants might be a good idea once September arrives - or so my dad would recommend.
