Dry Conditions Could Lead To Early Season Frost

 
The hot, dry temperatures we're experiencing on the Prairies are expected to remain for the short term.
 
That from Drew Lerner, senior agricultural meteorologist with World Weather Inc.
 
He notes while it's hot now, frost could be a concern later in the fall.
 
"Certainly looks as thought the tenancy for warmer than normal conditions and a drier tenancy is going to be with us in August. September, with the air being so dry, I'm a little bit concerned about that frost and freeze risk because it'll be easy for these temperatures to come crashing down with the low humidity."

We are taking students out to southern Manitoba to Hespler Farms! Farmer Wayne will teach students how he plants and cares for his potato crop and why potatoes are such a unique crop to grow. Teachers, check out your AITC Dashboard for Math'd Potatoes, a potato-themed classroom resource to pair with this tour video.
