A Warm Fall In The Forecast

Monday, 27 August 2012 07:34

It looks like the turtleneck sweaters and fall coats will stay in the closet a little longer this year. According to The Weather Network, much of Canada is going to enjoy a milder fall than usual. The Weather Network's Chris Scott says there will be above average temperatures from eastern Manitoba to Newfoundland, and also for southern Alberta and parts of Saskatchewan. As we head into October, the forecast will be a see-saw of cold spells and warm days until cool air finally takes over late in the fall, possibly by mid-November. Scott says many Canadians can expect a warm Thanksgiving long weekend.
