SASKATOON – After a cool spell during the second week of September that saw Saskatoon’s temperatures fall below freezing for the first time in over a hundred days, conditions are recovering to provide a splendid finish to summer.
A ridge of high pressure is building over southern and central Saskatchewan this week, which is expected to boost the mercury into the mid-20s by Thursday.
Under the upper ridge, Saskatoon will see sunny skies by mid-week, followed by a slightly cloudier Friday with a slight chance of showers as a disturbance ripples through.
The weekend will bring back sunshine with daytime highs staying in the 20s right through into the first day of fall, which occurs Sept. 22 at 8:29 p.m.
Normal daytime highs at this time of year in the city are around 17 degrees, with average morning lows of around 6 degrees.
At this point, long-range weather models are suggesting that the warmth will stick around for the first few days of autumn until the final few days of September when it will begin the inevitable cool down in October.
