No worries for the long Labor Day weekend weather-wise. The chance of showers for Sunday has evaporated. As these weak weather systems slide across Canada, we get clouds and stiff northwest winds after the frontal passage. And overnight lows have dipped into the 30s again around the county.
There is a sudden feeling of fall even with the pleasant sunshine and 80-degree afternoon temperatures. It was officially 46 degrees here in Vancouver but one resident observed a 33.6 degree low in Yacolt. Almost frost on the pumpkin. Are you ready for it? Meanwhile we will enjoy high temperatures between 80 and 85 degrees today through Labor Day with a chance to see the upper 80s.
As summer turns to autumn, gardens are showing plants at the end of their production cycle. Trees are beginning to put on their autumn colors while brisk winds scurry along the fallen leaf.
Grasshoppers are feeling their age, moving slower as the sun treks southward towards its autumnal equinox. Yellow jackets are present at outdoor meals on the deck and are rapidly filling up those dangling yellow wasp traps. Morning fog settles deep within the inland valleys and slithers its way uphill along the rugged foothills. The sun feels warm yet there can be a chill in the air. Blackberries are dangling along woodland paths, beckoning to be picked.
