When will Western Washington see its first frost this fall? What forecasters say

It’s getting colder in Washington state. As temperatures drop, you could start seeing small ice crystals forming on leaves, grass and roads. When can Western Washington residents expect to see frost covering the ground this fall? How long will frosty temperatures last, and how can you protect your plants and plumbing from the chill? Here’s what the experts say: When will we see the first frost in Washington state? When you can expect to see frost in 2026 depends on where you live in Washington state , according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac . The almanac looked at likely dates for the first and last frosts of the season , based on its long-range weather forecasts as well as historical frost averages. In much of Western Washington, frost timing should be “close to the historical average ,” the almanac said, while the last spring frost is expected roughly a week or two later than usual in Central and Eastern Washington. Even “modest” shifts in frost timing can “make a meaningful difference when you’re deciding when to sow early crops, set out seedlings or keep frost protection handy,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac said. The almanac predicted Bellingham would see its first

Atmospheric river likely to bring wind, rain, coastal flooding to Whatcom County

A trio of storms is chugging toward Western Washington to batter the region with wind and rain in a phenomenon called an atmospheric river. Weather systems set to hit one after the other Friday, Saturday and Sunday will pack strong wind and steady rain, but it won’t be enough to cause flooding on the Nooksack River, the National Weather Service said Monday in a phone call. “It’ll be wet, but not enough to produce any (river) flooding. It will be steady (rain), but not really heavy,” meteorologist Jeff Michalski told The Bellingham Herald. That term “atmospheric river” can cause concern among those who live near the Nooksack River, where such storms brought catastrophic flooding in February 2020, November 2021 and December 2025. This weekend’s storms, however, could bring coastal flooding Friday and Saturday mornings in places like Cherry Point because of seasonal high tides coinciding with low pressure, wind and storm surge. About an inch of rain could fall through Sunday in the Whatcom County lowlands, Michalski said. Data from the Northwest River Forecast Center shows the Nooksack cresting far below flood stage in Ferndale, Nugents Corner and Deming. “The Nooksack, it’s barely doing anything. The risk of flooding seems

Keep your eye on the water this month. King tides and Kelvin waves are coming

In The Grateful Dead’s first Billboard Hot 100 single, “Uncle John’s Band,” Jerry Garcia famously sings, “Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide.” Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’re no strangers to rising waters in the winter, with our king tides usually arriving in November and lasting through February. This year, there’s a bit more to talk about, though. King tides arrive this year on Nov. 23 and will stick around until Nov. 27. They reappear again on Dec. 22. NOAA is forecasting high tides up to 13 feet in the Puget Sound during November’s king tides. In addition to marking the arrival of Washington’s king tides, November is also our stormiest month. Forecasters are calling this week’s weather a “ storm train ,” with atmospheric rivers converging over Western Washington to bring multiple days of gusty winds and smattering rain. Nov. 8 saw huge waves bashing Washington’s coastline as a weekend windstorm knocked the power out for over 100,000 customers across Western Washington. When high winds and waves sync up with king tides, much of Washington, from the coast to the inland waters of Puget Sound, has to prepare for rising waters (think levees, bulkheads
