Saskatoon could see first frost overnight
Saskatoon gardeners should cover their plants overnight, as Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) issued a frost advisory on Monday afternoon.
The federal weather service says temperatures should drop to 0 C overnight, with patchy frost. Tuesday should be mostly sunny with a high of around 14 C.
“Cover up plants, especially those in frost-prone areas. Take preventative measures to protect frost-sensitive plants and trees,” ECCC said in the advisory.
“Frost advisories are issued when temperatures are expected to reach the freezing mark during the growing season, leading to potential damage and destruction to plants and crops.”
This is the first frost of the season, but not likely the only case this week, with temperatures expected to dip below zero overnight on Wednesday and Thursday.
