Severe Thunderstorm Watch

Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for extreme eastern and parts of north-central Saskatchewan, including the Yorkton, La Ronge and Hudson Bay areas.

Warm and moist conditions in the area coupled with cold front moving through Tuesday afternoon will bring scattered thunderstorms that may continue into the evening, some of which may become severe.

This comes after the cold front brought severe thunderstorms to parts of western Saskatchewan overnight Monday.

Saskatoon Forecast

Tuesday

Blustery winds kicked in behind a cold front that swept through early Tuesday morning, gusting upwards of 50 km/h to start the day with temperatures dipping back into the teens.

The second last day of school started out under mostly cloudy skies, but quickly started to clear out to bring in some sunny breaks by mid-morning as we warmed back into the low 20s before noon.

Breezy winds stick around for the remainder of the day with gusts of 50 to 60 km/h possible as sunshine kicks into full swing and we climb up to an afternoon high in the mid-20s.

Tuesday Night

Mostly clear skies stick around into the evening as winds begin to ease and the mercury slides back down into single digits by a degree.

Wednesday

Beautiful sunny skies will return in full force Wednesday with a few clouds building in later in the day.

A breezy wind will also kick in for the afternoon with 40 km/h gusts possible as we pop up to a daytime high in the mid-20s.

Daytime highs should manage to make it up into the mid-20s both days with winds easing back quite a bit to make for a stretch of a few pretty pleasant days.
