The month of September could make up for the rainy summer months the Foothills has had.

Environment Canada's early reports have warmer than average temperatures in the forecast.

Before we feel those high temperatures, Meteorologist Kirk Thorneby says there will be some typical "fall temperatures" for the rest of this week.

"Latter part of August especially this weekend we've kind of moved into a fall pattern here with some cooler, wetter conditions occurring," he says. "Some cold north west or westerly wind throughout the weekend dragging those temperatures down to the single digits."

There has already been some frost warnings for the area but Thorneby says not worry about your garden if you can get through a couple of rough days by covering plants up.

"Looking at the seasonal climate models things are showing throughout the whole fall period that we're going to be above normal in terms of temperature. You wouldn't believe that looking at the next few days but it looks like there's a good chance that the fall will be warmer than normal."

When asked about what will eventually become winter, Thorneby had some good news as to the prior forecast that a more intense winter was coming but not so much anymore.

"We were expecting things to move into a La Nina which would be a colder and possibly wetter than normal winter, it looks like conditions are not as strongly tied to La nina anymore so more normal type conditions are expected."
