It doesn't matter how cold Estevan gets tonight, the coldest temperature on September 8th has already been broken. Environment Canada Meteorologist Terri Lang says that as of 5 am, a record that has stood for a century-plus-a-decade has officially been broken.

"In the Estevan area, the temperature went down to about -4.7°C and that broke the record of -2.2°C set in 1910 so a pretty old record broken there."

Across the province, 20 records were broken along with another location that tied a previous record. The coldest spot in the province wasn't too far down highway 18 either.

"We had frost reported all the way from Central Saskatchewan down to the US border. There were some exceptions that didn't get as cold, but the coldest area was around the Coronach/Val Marie area where temperatures got below -8°C."

Moving forward for the rest of the week, there is another chance of some more frost including later Tuesday evening, which farmers don't want to hear right now with the amount of crop still in the field.

While the chances of frost this coming evening are much more patchy than they were last night. If crops can survive the temperatures tonight, they should be good for the next little while.

"It does look like the next chance of frost maybe Sunday morning."

Some places in Alberta that are at higher elevations have already seen snowfall that has hit their region, but Lang says that we aren't in danger of seeing the same fate anytime soon. Temperatures are set to get as warm as 25°C in the next week according to our five-day forecast, which lies between normal and our heat records. 

"Average is for this time of year is highs around 20 and lows around +5. The records are around the low to mid-30s, for example today the record is 34, and that's an indicator of the records for the next few days so there's no chance we'll break any heat records any time soon."
