Frost warning issued for Steinbach

If you are still enjoying tomatoes from your garden, you may want to cover those plants tonight.

Environment Canada is forecasting a low of zero overnight in Steinbach, with a risk of frost.

It says an area of high pressure has settled in over Southern Manitoba today. This will allow for a relatively clear sky tonight, causing temperatures to dip towards the freezing mark over parts of southeastern Manitoba. Frost-prone areas are at risk of dropping below zero overnight for a few hours. Temperatures will begin to rebound towards sunrise.

Environment Canada is encouraging people to cover up plants, especially those in frost-prone areas, and to take preventative measures to protect frost-sensitive plants and trees.
