Saskatoon Forecast

Thursday

An arctic high sliding by helped temperatures fall below freezing Thursday morning with widespread frost across the region.

Temperatures in Saskatoon fell back to -2 with places like Prince Albert and North Battleford cooling back to -4 to start the day with wind chills making it feel as cool as -6.

Sunny skies with some high clouds stuck around, which assisted in quickly warming us up into double digits by mid-morning.

Sunshine and some high cloud stuck around during the afternoon with a daytime high in the mid-teens.

Friday

A warm, southerly wind around 20 km/h to 30 km/h will kick in to end off the work week thanks to a low pressure system in northern Alberta, which will help warm us up into the high teens for a daytime high.

Sunny skies will start the morning with some more clouds likely to build in during the day.
