Central and Southern Alberta may experience frost overnight, according to meteorologists.
As temperatures continue to drop, Environment Canada has issued a frost advisory for several regions in the province. This includes areas such as Calgary, Red Deer, Lethbridge, and Medicine Hat.
The advisory warns that temperatures are expected to reach near or below freezing, which could result in frost formation. This could potentially damage crops and sensitive plants, as well as impact outdoor activities.
Residents are advised to take precautions to protect their plants and gardens, such as covering them or bringing them indoors. It is also recommended to bring pets indoors and to check on vulnerable individuals, such as seniors or those with health conditions.
The frost advisory is expected to remain in effect until early morning, as temperatures are expected to rise above freezing by mid-morning.
This sudden drop in temperature is due to a cold front moving through the province, bringing cooler air from the north. As a result, temperatures are expected to be below seasonal averages for this time of year.
Environment Canada also advises drivers to be cautious on the roads, as frost may create slippery conditions. Motorists are reminded to drive with caution and to allow for extra time to reach their destinations.
As always, it is important to stay informed and prepared for changing weather conditions. Environment Canada regularly updates their weather alerts and advisories, and residents are encouraged to stay tuned for any further updates.
In the meantime, residents are advised to bundle up and stay warm as we brace for a chilly night ahead.
