Saskatoon Forecast

A low pressure system pushing through brought in some snow during the afternoon with a centimetre or so in the city as we rose up to an afternoon high in mid-minus single digits.

Wednesday

It’ll feel like the -20s with wind chill as you head out Wednesday morning with a mix of sun and cloud to start the day before more clouds build in during the day with a slight chance of light snow into the evening.

It’ll be a chilly afternoon as well with the mercury only making it up into mid-minus single digits with wind chills likely staying in minus double digits for the majority of the day.

Thursday

Some clouds are likely to stick around early Thursday along with a very slight chance of some morning flurries before clouds clear out as arctic air surges in with a northerly wind and cools us right down.

After starting out the day in the minus teens, we’ll likely sit in minus double digits all day with wind chills in the -20 to -30 range.

Easter Long Weekend Outlook

A frigid Good Friday and Saturday is on the way with morning wind chills possibly dipping into the -30 to -40 range as temperatures plunge into the -20s with daytime highs stick in minus double digits to start the long weekend before pushing into minus single digits Saturday and Easter Sunday.

But the good news will be that skies will be mostly sunny right through the weekend, although that will come with a bit of wind that will keep wind chills below -20 right through until Easter Sunday.
