Friday Night

There is a decent chance of showers, switching to flurries this evening as a disturbance and cold front ripples through before clouds start to clear out overnight as we cool down into mid-minus single digits.

Saturday

Winds will remain breezy on Saturday behind that front on Saturday with wind chills making it feel like the minus teens to start before temperatures rebound up toward, but just shy of the freezing mark in the afternoon.

A low pressure system to our north will keep clouds in that area with Saskatoon expected to be on the edge of that deck, so a mix of sun and cloud is on tap for the day.

A few breaks of sunshine are possible on Sunday early in the morning before the clouds roar back in along with some breezy winds with the next wave of Pacific moisture pushing in.

Temperatures will start off close to or possible even into minus double digits with wind chills making it feel near -20 to start before the mercury rises up toward the freezing mark in the afternoon.
