Saskatoon Forecast

Thursday

-4 was where temperatures fell down to on this Thursday morning, when normally a morning low in Saskatoon is -17 on this date!

We made our way up a few degrees to -2 by morning, which was where we sat right into the middle of the day as clouds that started the day started to clear out with wind chills around -8.

We managed to make it to the freezing mark for an afternoon high under a mix of sun and cloud.

Friday

There was a bit of snow and rain early Friday morning as a system slid through to start the day.

Saskatoon was on the edge of the precipitation zone as temperatures rose up above freezing midday.

Winds will pick up late in the day with gusts upwards of 50 to 60 km/h possible as cooler air starts sliding in behind the system with the precipitation risk easing later on.

Weekend

Some sunshine will start the weekend on Saturday before more clouds move back in later in the day as we rise up for an afternoon high just shy of the freezing mark with breezy conditions.

Sunday may also start off with a bit of sunshine before clouds quickly roll back in and a slight chance of late day mixed precipitation as we warm up to a daytime high just shy of the freezing mark once again.

A mix of sun and cloud is expected to start off the week before Christmas with some wind on Monday before clouds roll back in mid-week with a chance of flurries as daytime highs slide back into minus double digits by week’s end.

With the colder temperatures returning and expected to stick around into the end of the month and 16 centimetres of snow reported on the ground at the airport, it’s fairly safe to say that Saskatoon will see a white Christmas this year!
