Scott says the region will see some milder weather especially through October and while November might hold some snowy surprises, temperatures won’t drop into the minus 20s as they sometimes do in the second and third week of the month.

Scott is also forecasting drier than normal conditions across southern Alberta, with near to slightly below normal precipitation anticipated elsewhere in the Prairies, including Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
