Warm…or cold?

Areas in the mountains and foothills once again reported light frosts, all part of the nearly dozen cold records that were set in S. and Cent. Alta. this morning. Despite the chilly start, under blue skies, S.Alta. peaked with temps. in the high 20’s this aft. This is just a taste, as temps. approach 30C the next couple days, under a brilliant, late summer sun; there is a good chance that a few high temp. records will fall. Cloudier, cooler conditions will move in mid-week, and possibly lead to showers by the end of the week.
