Environment Canada is predicting an abrupt transition to Fall this Labour Day weekend.

The forecast sees an Alberta Clipper passing across the Prairies bringing showers, gusty winds and cooler temperatures. A cold air mass will slide south in the wake of the Clipper over Saskatchewan for Monday and Tuesday morning.

50 to 80 kilometres per hour Sunday are expected from the northwest, the strongest gusts being in southeastern Saskatchewan.

Cool winds from the north will dominate Monday, but ease Monday evening, allowing the cold air to settle in for Tuesday morning. Frost advisories are expected to be issued with the Monday afternoon forecasts as widespread frost is possible in a number of localities in southern Saskatchewan on Tuesday morning.

Temperatures are expected to rise back to 20’s by mid-week, with warmer overnight lows.
