A hot and sticky start to the long weekend will come to a crashing halt.
Saskatoon Forecast
Today
The day started off with some light rain off and on through the early morning hours as temperatures dropped to 17 degrees.
The rain then moved east, leaving the city under mostly cloudy skies through the middle of the day.
We may get some clearing in the afternoon, however the unstable airmass we’re sitting in is likely to produce some bubble up convective clouds that may bring in a scattered shower or thunderstorm this afternoon into the evening.
The rain put a damper on the morning warm-up into the 20s that we’ve become accustomed to, but later today we are expecting the mercury to rise up into the mid-20s.

Clouds will clear back out tonight as temperatures drop back to around 13 degrees.
Saturday
It looks like a hot and sticky start to the long weekend.
The day will start off with some sunshine that’ll quickly warm us up into the 20s by mid-morning.
It’ll be feeling like the low 30s with humidity by afternoon as the mercury shoot up into the high 20s.
Clouds will build in midday with a good chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms.
Areas west of the city toward Lloydminster are looking at a good risk of severe thunderstorms with conditions ripe for the potential for tornadic activity as well into the evening hours.

Sunday
Things start to settle down a bit on Sunday as the system responsible for Saturday’s severe weather slides through a cold front that’ll bring us a chance of some thunderstorms during the day.
It won’t be a washout of a day by any means, other than a few storms moving through it looks like we’ll be seeing a mix of sun and cloud through the day with temperatures a bit cooler, but still pushing up toward 27 degrees or so before the cold front drops us back a bit in the afternoon.

Holiday Monday
The final day of the long weekend looks to be the coolest, but also the most settled in the Saskatoon area.
Heavier rain is expected with an upper low further north, but in the city we’re looking at a mix of sun and cloud with just a slight chance of showers.
Behind the cold front, as one would expect, it will be cooler with the mercury sitting in the low-to-mid 20s during the day.
Work Week Outlook
Next week is shaping up to be a bit cooler than this past week with a mixture of mostly sunny, partly cloudy and mostly cloudy days with a decent chance of rain on Wednesday.
Daytime highs will likely start out in the mid-20s on Tuesday before falling back into the low 20s on Wednesday and then gradually climbing back up into the mid-20s to end the week.
