Warmest days so far this year are here before big changes move in this weekend.
Saskatoon Forecast
Thursday
3 high temperature records were broken on Thursday in parts of central Saskatchewan as the mercury soared into the low 20s.
Saskatoon broke an 87-year-old high temperature record Thursday afternoon from 1930 of 20.6 degrees as we rose up above that as of 4 p.m.
Leader was the hot spot in the province at 22.6, although this fell just shy of the record of 22.8 set in 1952.
+5 was where temperatures fell back to earlier in the day, making it the warmest morning the city had seen so far this year!
Strong southerly winds are to thank with sustained speeds up to 44 km/h and gusts into the 60 km/h range, helping to usher in warm air with double digits reached before noon under mostly cloudy skies!
Tonight
Clouds return this evening with a very slight chance of showers later on as a low pressure system slides by north of the city before skies clear overnight and we fall back to a low around +6.
Friday
Another incredible, warm day is on the way to end off the first week of April with temperatures pushing up toward 20 degrees!
Mostly sunny skies are expected to dominate the day with clouds building back in late in the afternoon associated with the next system moving into Alberta that will bring a good chance of rain tomorrow night.
Weekend
That system is expected to track just north of Saskatoon on Saturday bringing in a good chance of rain and is likely to keep us in the clouds for most of the day with an afternoon high just into double digits.
There’s still a slight chance of some very light snow on Sunday with temperatures remaining cool, in low single digits all day.
Work Week Outlook
Slightly cooler air will settle in early next week under mostly to partly cloudy skies and daytime highs in upper single digits or low double digits into mid-week.
