There is talk that an early frost could be in the fall forecast. Some forecasters say yes, while others say no. That fall forecast is challenging to accurately forecast. According to Nutrien Senior Atmospheric Scientist Eric Snodgrass, it can be nearly impossible to predict even three to five days in advance. “I’m in a bit of a different camp,” says Snodgrass. “If neither El Nino or La Nina are present, the risk for a cooler fall goes down. Right now we’re starting to lose El Nino.” Snodgrass goes on to say the second component to the fall forecast is the long-range European model. “The trend in that model is toward warmer conditions for October. So, I’ve seen this and El Nino weakening, which is making me worry less about an early frost to wipe out the crop.”
