Saskatoon Forecast

Tuesday

After falling into the -20s overnight, a little light snow and clouds moved in and warmed us up into the minus teens by morning with wind chills popping out of the -30s to start the day.

Mostly cloudy skies stuck around into the middle of the day with the mercury rising up into the mid-minus teens before noon.

Clouds linger into the afternoon with a chance of light snow as a cold front slips through and stalls our warming in the minus teens.

Milder air will push back in during the day as the next system pushes in a southerly breeze that should help pick us back up into the mid-minus teens for a daytime high with some clouds moving in.

Thursday-Friday

That system will help scoop us up into even milder air to finish the week with afternoon highs approaching minus single digits Thursday before cracking a few degrees into them on Friday.

Mostly cloudy skies are expected to move in Thursday before we finish off the week with a return to beautiful blue skies and sunshine Friday.
