Freezing rain, accumulating snow and rain this weekend as we cool back down.

Saskatoon Forecast

Today

It was a mild March morning in Saskatoon with temperatures only dropping back to -7 and wind chills to -14 as a warm front pushed through.

Mostly sunny skies, a southerly wind and a low pressure system in northern Alberta kicking out mild air ahead of it helped us to warm up above freezing by noon.

Sunny skies will stick around for the rest of the day as we warm even more with an expected daytime high around +4, but well shy of our record high of 11.1 from 1905.

Tonight

Mostly clear skies will stick around tonight as we fall just a few degrees below freezing.

Saturday

Wind chills will only be back into mid-minus single digits tomorrow morning as temperatures sit just below freezing to start the day.

There’s a chance of freezing rain to start the day as a second low pressure system moves in over our area and brings back the clouds.
