Snow, wind and rain on the way as the temperature roller-coaster ride continues.

Saskatoon Forecast

Monday

After a wet weekend with 11.6 millimetres of rain falling in the city, drier conditions have moved in to start the work week.

The clouds that started the day quickly moved out this morning and after dipping back to 3 degrees overnight, we were able to warm up into high single digits by noon with winds gusting up to 40 to 50 km/h.

Beautiful blue skies and sunshine continued for the rest of the day with breezy northwesterly winds continuing to gust upwards of 50 km/h as we rose up to an afternoon high just into double digits.

Tuesday

A short-lived upper ridge of high pressure builds in for the day Tuesday and once some cloud cover slips through in the first half of the day, we should tap into some sunny breaks later on.

The ridge will help boost temperatures up into the mid teens later on with a breezy west-northwesterly wind around 35 km/h with gusts up to 60 km/h in the afternoon.

Winds could gust as high as 50 or even 60 km/h Tuesday afternoon in central Saskatchewan. SkyTracker Weather

A precipitation-packed low pressure system will bring in rain early Wednesday that is likely to switch over to some snow later on and into the evening as is passes through with a daytime high struggling into double digits.

Depending how early the rain changes over to snow and how much falls, this could be the city’s first accumulating snowfall of the season.
