Saskatoon Forecast
Thursday
Mist and clouds started the day in Saskatoon with conditions remaining just dry enough to keep thick fog from forming as we dipped back to -9 with wind chills in the mid-minus teens.
Mostly cloudy skies stuck around through the morning with a warm south-southeasterly wind kicking in and heating up to -3 degrees before noon.
Above freezing temperatures move in during the afternoon with that breezy warm wind continuing under mostly cloudy skies as we sit in the warm sector of a low pressure system swinging into the north.
Thursday Night
A good chance of rain moves in this evening as we remain above freezing as a cold front approaches and then swings through, kicking up winds to 30 km/h with gusts upwards of 50 to 60 km/h overnight.
They will be a cold northwesterly wind that’ll drop us back a few degrees below freezing as we get into some clear breaks at times overnight.
Friday
Strong west-northwesterly winds will continue in the morning with gusts pushing 50 km/h at times, making it feel like minus double digits to start before they ease during the day.
Mostly cloudy skies will stick around in the morning before some sunshine moves in later on as we rise up to an afternoon high around the freezing mark.
Weekend
Some sunshine is expected to start the weekend on Saturday with some more clouds building in Sunday as an upper ridge of high pressure keeps us from cooling down too far.
Daytime highs are expected to be around the freezing mark both days with morning lows dipping back into minus double digits.
Work Week Outlook
The next system is slated to slide in early next week with mild air ahead of it on Monday before cooler air drops in behind it, with a chance of snow as it passes through.
