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.

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
