Bezte: Frost Watch for Sept. 9

Sept. 9 — There is a chance for light scattered frost across portions of central and northern Alberta along with northern Saskatchewan each night between Wednesday and Friday of this week, as high pressure settles over this region.

After this it looks like temperatures will warm up for much of next week as a large area of high pressure builds to our east. This will place most regions under a southerly to southwesterly flow, keeping temperatures near to above average for this period, with little chance of seeing any frost.

Many readers have been impressed by the consistent accuracy of his Manitoba forecasts for the week ahead, so we’ve asked him to keep a similar watch for potential weather systems that might mean frost in parts of the Prairies over the next few days.
