Frost-free forecast
No more widespread frost is expected this season. We are now on the other side of Mother's Day and it is generally safe to plant outdoors with confidence. Our average last frost is May 8 and we are highly confident there is no frost in the next 10 days.
Frost has happened through late May and even into early June, but only in very rare circumstances. The latest frost/freeze on record for Toledo was actually June 11, 1972.
Ohio farming outlook
In the latest update from May 13, Ohio is ahead of the 5-year average on planting corn and soybeans despite large parts of central and northern Ohio receiving 150-200% of normal rainfall in the past 60 days. WTOL 11 Chief Meteorologist Chris Vickers suspects this is largely due to southern and central Ohio, with limited progress in northwest Ohio.
