Above freezing temperatures return for the weekend before a cool down into February.

Saskatoon Forecast

Today

-17 is what it felt like with wind chill early this morning as temperatures dropped to -9 before clouds moved in to start the day.

Those clouds quickly helped warm us up to just below the freezing mark for the morning before they cleared out and sunshine moved in by midday as temperatures rose to zero by noon!

Mostly sunny skies will stick around for the rest of the day with northwesterly winds at sustained speeds up to 30 km/h with gusts of 40 to 45 km/h helping to keep us mild with the mercury likely to eventually rise above zero this afternoon.

Tonight

Clouds will roll back in this evening with a slight chance of wet snow overnight as a disturbance ripples through and we dip back a few degrees below freezing.

Saturday

Even warmer air moves in this weekend as an upper ridge of high pressure strengthens over the region.

We should start our Saturday with some sunshine and wind chills as low as -10 before clouds roll back in midday, associated with a warm front that’ll bring in a chance of rain and a daytime high a few degrees above freezing.

Thermometers will spike up to +3 or +4 for an afternoon high – but enjoy this, it’ll be the last of the positive heat for a while!
