Every single site in Saskatchewan broke records Wednesday with record breaking heat possible in Saskatoon’s forecast.
Record Breaking Wednesday
Every single site in Saskatchewan broke high temperature records on Wednesday.
As of noon, Saskatoon had shattered a 99-year-old record from 1917 of 13.9 C!
We continued climbing up to 18.7 , which is where our new record now stands.
Some areas beat their old record by up to nine degrees with North Battleford breaking the oldest record high of 15.6 from over 100 years ago in 1905 when the city hit a high of 17.7!
Saskatoon Forecast
Today
We dipped to the freezing mark under clear skies overnight.
It’ll be a cooler end to the work week behind a cold front that slid through last night, but the sunshine will dominate the day!
After rising up to 7 by noon, we’ll continue to see the mercury climb in the sunshine to a daytime high either just shy of or just into double digits this afternoon.
Tonight
Clear skies will stick around tonight as temperatures fall back toward the freezing mark.
Remembrance Day Friday
It may be a Remembrance Day for the record books in Saskatoon!
A glorious day is in the forecast for tomorrow with mostly sunny skies expected through the day and just a few clouds around.
After climbing into high single digits around 11 a.m. for any outdoor services, temperatures will continue to rise to around 14 through the afternoon, but it will be a bit breezy.
One of the main driving forces for the heat is a moderate southerly wind up to sustained speeds of 30 km/h with gusts in excess of 50 to 60 km/h expected through the day.
If the mercury rises above 14.1 in the city, which is the previous high temperature record in Saskatoon from 1981, it will be the warmest Nov. 11 every recorded in Saskatoon.
Weekend
A weak low pressure system looks to swing through on Saturday bringing in partly to mostly cloudy skies during the day with an afternoon high into the low teens before cooler air slumps in behind the system.
There is a slight chance of showers on Sunday with clouds early in the day, but at this point it looks like the clouds will clear out late in the day giving us some afternoon sunshine.
Conditions will be cooler on Sunday though with an expected afternoon high in high single digits.
Work Week Outlook
Next week we’ll mark the end to Saskatoon’s heat streak.
A system sliding by north of the city will bring us into some warmer air on Monday under partly to mostly cloudy skies and a daytime high back in low double digits.
Cooler air does look to slide in behind that system for the rest of the work week with partly to mostly cloudy skies and daytime highs returning to single digit territory.
