Windsor will escape with just a dusting of frost on what Environment Canada officials are calling “the coldest day of the month.”
Environment Canada issued a frost warning for Windsor, Leamington and Essex County. The frost is caused by a very cold air mass moving through the region Sunday, but by Monday officials say the Windsor should be entering recovery mode.
“As the winds drop off and the skies clear that’s going to be perfect (conditions) for frost to form,” said Robert Kuhn, a severe weather meteorologist for Environment Canada. “The exception is the extreme southwest, the Windsor and Sarnia area.”
Originally, the warning called for worse conditions Monday that would pose a “significant threat” to sensitive plants, but the threat appears to have passed.
Kuhn described recent temperatures in Windsor prior to the warning as “golf weather” and said he was confident this will be the last cold spell for the region.
The mercury dipped to 1C Monday morning, but temperatures are expected to rebound later in the week with a high of 25 C projected for Wednesday.
