It added that the tornado threat will gradually diminish after sunset.

Terri Lang, meteorologist with Environment Canada, said we haven’t seen much of the kind of heat that’s expected in Saskatchewan Sunday.

“Because of the warm air moving in with the weather system we are expecting some severe weather throughout southern Saskatchewan,” Lang said.

She said people should pay attention to the skies if they get out and enjoy the heat.

Lang also noted with the heat people should remember their sunscreen and to stay hydrated.

“We’re still a little pasty from the long winter and cloudy, wet spring.”
