Saskatoon Forecast
Today
After a hot and wild end to the weekend with a daytime high of 33 hit Sunday and humidex values making it feel like 38 before a severe thunderstorm rolled through, the work week has started off quite calm with mostly sunny skies and a few fog patches starting the day as temperatures dipped back to 13 degrees.
Some high clouds that the sun is able to shine through moved back in during the morning as we warmed up into the mid 20s by noon with breezy northwest winds around 20 to 30 km/h.
Winds will remain around that rate for the rest of the day as cooler air slides in behind the front that slid through Sunday night and keeps us from warming much past 26 degrees or so today with those high clouds lingering.
Tonight
Mostly clear skies will linger this evening before we get into some clear patches overnight as we cool back to a low around 10 degrees.
Tuesday
Showers are expected Tuesday afternoon as clouds will build back in during the day after some sunshine to start the day.
A light northerly wind will also assist in suppressing temperatures during the day, with a daytime high struggling to get up to around 23 degrees.
Wednesday-Friday
An arctic high will dip in from the north on Wednesday with a mix of sun and cloud and afternoon warming capping out around 23 degrees before we get a few degrees warmer for Thursday and Friday.
Clouds will build in late Thursday before clearing again on Friday with a slight chance of showers to end off the week.
Long Weekend Outlook
Clouds are expected to be in and out for the August long weekend with daytime highs sitting around the mid-to-upper 20s and a slight chance of showers at times.
