After some scorching days with temperatures in the mid 30s, there's a chance the temperature will be moving the other way this week.
There is a risk of frost for the Humboldt area later tonight.
Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Crawford Luke explains that it will be a cooler week after last’s week sizzler.
“A much cooler air mass is in place now and you know, as we look ahead to tonight, it looks like we have a high-pressure system centered over the area. And basically, what that means is winds will likely be light, skies will likely be clear and it's that combination of things that really allows us to radiate out or cool off at night.”
Luke also pointed out that at this time of year, the evenings are a little bit longer compared to the summer months which allows a longer period of time for the temperature to drop.
In the middle of the week, cloud cover and increased wind speeds should prevent frost from happening.
Along with this evening, Luke added that there’s a possibility of frost at the end of the week.
“It looks like as we get to Friday night, that could be our next shot at having frost. So, Friday night into Saturday morning and I wouldn't even want to rule out Saturday night into Sunday morning at this point.”
While frost is less than likely to occur in the middle of the week, temperatures could fall below the seasonal average as the winds pick up and the clouds roll in. Some rainfall could happen on Thursday.
The good news is that after a cool first week of September, above seasonal temperatures could return next week, and Luke says it’s a possibility it could stick around for a while.
“It may linger into like, the latter half of the month as well. So, let's keep an eye on that.”
He said while we won’t likely see the 30°C temperatures last week, there could still be temperatures possibly mid to high 20s during that stretch.
