Saskatoon Forecast
Tuesday
13 degrees was where Saskatoon started out the day under pure blue skies and sunshine.

The ridge keeps us in the heat and sunshine through the afternoon as we make it up to an afternoon high around 33 degrees with humidex values in the mid-to-upper 30s.
Tuesday Night
Clear skies will kick off the evening before a few clouds filter in overnight as we cool back into the mid-teens.
Wednesday
A low pressure system swinging in will build in clouds and a good chance of showers and thunderstorms during the day, with the risk of storms lingering into Wednesday evening.
Despite the clouds and risk of rain, we should manage to make it into the low 30s for a daytime high before showers dip us back into the upper 20s late in the day.
Thursday-Friday
Behind the low pressure system will lie some slightly cooler air with daytime highs ducking back into the mid-to-upper 20s for the rest of the week.
A mix of sun and cloud with a slight chance of showers and risk of a thunderstorm will also dominate both Thursday and Friday.
Weekend Outlook
The weekend is still appearing a bit uncertain with a system sliding in that’ll bring in a good chance of thunderstorms on Saturday with more organized rain possible Sunday with a risk of a storm.
Daytime highs are expected to slide back from the upper 20s on Saturday with breezy southeasterly winds, back into the low-to-mid 20s on Sunday.
