Yeah, it’s looking like tomorrow will be cold. I think our expected high is about 5 degrees below normal.
First and most importantly, that frost probability is looking pretty high, so I would advise you cover up your plants. Based on the current forecast, ~60% chance. But, of course, that is lower for higher-lying areas and higher for lower-lying areas.
For the actual temperatures, the high is 10 on the forecast, except AccuWeather is actually saying 9. That is interesting, because I’ve noticed that if AccuWeather suddenly changes by a degree or two for it’s high or low about 24 hours for it actually happens, then it’ll usually end up being that. Another similar thing I’ve noticed is that if Environment Canada makes a bold prediction that’s quite a bit different from the others, and that stays for a while, then it’ll probably happen as well. That is exactly what has happened with a -1 low tomorrow night. Both the others have been saying a BIG NO to a negative, but EnviroCan itself has been keeping -1 or something very similar on the forecast for about 3-5 days now.
If you were wondering what the reason for all this cold is, it’s a low moving from the Gulf of Alaska to the rocky mountains to bring a trough is the jet stream before quickly fizzling out. It is going to be alive for long enough for some cold temperatures, but not long enough for any sustainable cold wave.
Oh yes, and this cold we’re getting has actually lasted quite a while. Hmm… That could be big for a mid-October cold wave!
