Sept. 2 –– With a summery weather pattern currently stalled out over much of the Prairies, the chance of seeing any frost over the remainder of this week and into the long weekend is extremely remote. The next slight chance for frost will be in Alberta around the middle of next week as cooler air fills in behind a departing area of low pressure.

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.
