Today
The coldest temperature Saskatoon has seen in over 20 days (since March 21) was reached this morning when we fell down to -8 to start the day with wind chill values as low as -13.
A southerly wind kicked in during the morning, helping to quickly warm us up above freezing and into mid-single digits under mostly cloudy skies by noon!
Mostly cloudy skies are expected to stick around for the rest of the day as we climb up into high single digits for a daytime high.

Tonight
We’ll get some clearing this evening as temperatures fall just below freezing before clouds build back through the early morning hours as a system that sat in central Alberta today moves in.
Tuesday
Tomorrow will be another cool day with wind chill values in mid-minus single digits to start the day before warming up to an afternoon high just into or just shy of double digits.
That low pressure system will push through tomorrow, keeping us under mostly cloudy skies for the most part with a slight chance of showers through the day.
Wednesday-Thursday
A disturbance looks to likely keep conditions unsettled on Wednesday with predominantly cloudy skies expected along with a slight chance of showers and temperatures struggling to get into double digits.
The next major system then starts to push in on Thursday with more clouds moving in, a chance of afternoon showers, winds picking up during the day to gusts of 60 km/h by afternoon and a warm up into low double digits expected.
Easter Long Weekend Outlook
All major models are indicating a strong, vertically stacked and precipitation packed low pressure system will move in on Good Friday and bring in strong winds and heavy rain that may change to snow late in the day.
Snow looks like it’ll linger on Saturday as the system starts to pull off during the day with strong winds continuing.
Calmer conditions look like they’ll move in on Easter Sunday with daytime highs just above freezing and morning lows back below freezing by the end of the long weekend.
Significant accumulations of rain and potentially snow are possible from Thursday night through Saturday, which will be pinpointed in detail later updates as the date approaches.
