SASKATOON – March will finish hot and April will kick off as cool and wet in Saskatoon. If Saskatoon tops 16.2 degrees Celsius Tuesday, it will topple a high temperature record from 1991.
This would also make it the warmest day of the year so far and accelerate a lot of the melting that has already begun across the region.
The heat will be short lived though.

A developing system in Alberta that will be responsible first for the warm push of air Tuesday will sweep through Wednesday with a cold front knocking temperatures back to below seasonal.
As it comes crashing through, it will first bring rain during the day Wednesday, which will then turn to snow Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Snowfall isn’t expected to amount to any significant accumulations at this point, however it will make for slick travel conditions early Thursday morning as temperatures dip below freezing by a few degrees.
Heading into the Easter long weekend, temperatures are expected to settle slightly below seasonal with lots of freeze/thaw. At this point, daytime highs are expected to be in the low to mid single digits and overnight lows in minus single digits with no significant precipitation events.
