-18 was what it felt like with wind chill today, but there’s a little warm-up for the weekend!

Saskatoon Forecast

Today

This morning was the farthest the mercury has fallen in Saskatoon since March 19.

-12 was where we started the day, but with wind chill it felt like -18 this morning under clear skies.

Tonight

It’ll be another chilly night under partly cloudy skies with temperatures once again dipping back into minus double digits.

Saturday

If you’re up bright and early Saturday morning, you’ll be greeted to wind chill values in the mid-to-low minus teens.

We may catch a few sunny breaks early in the day to kickoff the weekend, but the cloud cover will move in quickly after that as the next system develops in Alberta.

During the day we should warm up to a daytime high around -1 or -2, but with the wind chill it’ll still feel like mid-minus single digits right through the afternoon.

Then tomorrow night a low pressure system swinging through southern Saskatchewan will likely kick up some light snow into early Sunday morning.

Sunday

That light snow may linger into Sunday morning before it clears out and cloud cover sticks around until the afternoon when it begins to clear.

Another system will quickly form behind this system, helping to keep us a bit warmer on Sunday with temperatures expected to pop up above freezing in the afternoon.

Work Week Outlook

As that next system slides through on Monday we’ll see mostly cloudy skies and a chance of rain or freezing rain, depending whether the ground temperature is above or below freezing when the precipitation occurs.

Temperatures should climb above freezing that day before falling back below freezing for Tuesday behind the system under mostly cloudy skies.

We should see a warm-up back above freezing from Wednesday through Friday under a mix of sun and cloud for the most part.
