Risk Of Frost Tonight

Just when you think you have heard it all weather-wise over the past couple of weeks with record high temperatures well for tonight Environment Canada is throwing out the F word.

According to the forecaster the risk of frost is possible tonight over western Saskatchewan. Clearing skies behind an exiting low-pressure system in northern Saskatchewan is to blame for the cool temps.

Moose Jaw sits just on the eastern edge of the frost advisory zone. So if you have tomatoes, watermellon, squash or other vegetables and flowers supseptible to frost you may want to take protective measures.
