Frost Advisory Issued for Calgary and Central Alberta

A frost advisory has been issued for Calgary and much of central Alberta according to a statement from Environment and Climate Change Canada. This advisory precedes an anticipated drop in temperatures to or below the freezing mark on Friday night, persisting into Saturday morning.

Residents of the area are advised to “take preventative measures to protect frost-sensitive plants and trees,” as noted in the advisory. Frost advisories are typically issued during the growing season when temperatures are predicted to reach freezing, posing a risk of damage to plants and crops.

The temperature in Calgary is expected to reach 0 degrees Celsius by Saturday morning, with forecasts predicting a subsequent daytime high of around 16 degrees Celsius under mainly sunny conditions. As reported by Environment Canada, the weather will further warm up with a high of 19 degrees Celsius anticipated on Sunday.

Despite the brief cold spell, the forecast suggests that temperatures will rise in the following days. A high of 20 degrees Celsius is projected for Monday, with temperatures returning to mid-summer levels of 27 degrees and 29 degrees Celsius on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

Similar weather conditions are expected in Red Deer and other parts of central Alberta, where the frost advisory is also in effect. The advisory serves as a reminder for residents to safeguard vulnerable vegetation during this period of freezing temperatures.
