Saskatoon Forecast
Friday
Showers and thunderstorms started the day in Saskatoon as a cold front swept through and temperatures fell back to 17 degrees.
Clouds quickly cleared and we sat in the sun for the rest of the morning as we warmed up to humidex values in the 30s before noon.
Sunny skies will stick around for the rest of the day as we climb up to an afternoon high around 30 degrees, which will feel like the mid 30s with humidity.
Friday Night
Clear skies will start the evening before some clouds build in overnight as we cool back into the low teens.
Saturday
A pulse of moisture will keep us under mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers for the first half of the day before skies clear out later in the day and we return to some sun.
Temperatures should climb into the upper 20s for an afternoon high with humidex values making it feel like the low 30s.
Sunday
Beautiful blue skies and sunshine will be back in full force for Sunday with some clouds building in late in the day and a chance of showers and thunderstorms into the evening as a low pressure system and coupled cold front slide through.
Hot weather will also make its return as an upper ridge builds back in heat soaring a few degrees into the 30s during the day, which could feel as warm as 37 with humidity.
Work Week Outlook
Mostly sunny skies should dominate the start of the work week with daytime highs slightly cooler, in the upper 20s, before soaring up into the low 30s once again for the middle to end of the week as an upper ridge returns.
