Heat spills in for the weekend, bringing in sloppy and slippery road conditions.
Saskatoon Forecast
Thursday
-11 is where temperatures dipped back to Thursday morning with wind chills making it feel like -18 at times.
A mix of sun and cloud started the day as we made it into minus single digits before noon with even warmer air just west of the city.
We’ll tap into that warmer air during the afternoon as breezy west-northwesterly winds help mix the mild air, which is just above ground level, down to the surface and we warm toward the freezing mark under partly cloudy skies.
Thursday Night
Mostly clear skies will stick around into the evening as we cool back toward minus double digits and those west-northwesterly winds remain persistently breezy through the night, helping keep us from cooling off too much.
Friday
Winds stay breezy from the west-northwest to start the final day of the first full week of December, which will allow us have a mild start to the day with wind chills only dipping into the mid-minus teens to start.
An upper ridge of high pressure will keep us under mostly sunny skies through the day and assist in warming us up to around -1 for an afternoon high.
Weekend
The influence of the upper ridge lasts into the weekend with loads of sunshine on Saturday before a bit of a blip swings in and brings in some more clouds on Sunday with wind gusts in excess of 50 km/h possible.
Incredibly warm heat will also persist into the weekend thanks to that ridge, bumping daytime highs a few degrees above freezing both days, so expect some sloppy roads during the day and slippery driving in the evening and morning hours as we fall below freezing allowing any water on streets to freeze.
Work Week Outlook
The ridge briefly slides aside to start the work week, allowing more clouds in on Monday with a daytime high around the freezing mark before we bump back up above zero as it rebuilds us back into more sun by mid-week.
