A cool Labour Day long weekend and a risk of frost as the school year kicks off.
Saskatoon Forecast
Friday
A few showers slipped through early Friday morning with lingering clouds into the day as temperatures dipped back toward single digits overnight.
Winds kicked in once again during the day with sustained speeds above 30 km/h and gusts over 50 km/h before noon as we warmed into the mid-teens.
Increasing sunshine dominates the remainder of the day as breezy winds continue and the mercury slides up toward the upper teens for an afternoon high.
Friday Night
Winds ease Friday evening and clouds roll back in overnight with the next batch of fronts set to slide in as we cool back into single digits.
Saturday
A cold front will slide through to start the long weekend on Saturday with winds gusting upwards of 50 to 60 km/h as it does so.
There is a good chance of a brief bout of showers along the front, which will put a damper on daytime heating keeping temperatures in the high teens in the afternoon.
Sunday
More sunshine returns on Sunday as winds ease back a bit, however some high clouds are expected to stream back in during the day, but shouldn’t obscure all of the sunlight from getting through.
In the afternoon, the mercury will attempt to make it up into the upper teens for an afternoon high, but it’ll certainly be jacket weather to start the day with a morning low around 4 C.
Labour Day Monday
Rain is likely at times for Labour Day Monday with a system that’s slated to swing through central Saskatchewan.
It could bring 5 millimetres or so and is expected to keep our afternoon high in the teens once again as gusty winds pick back up.
Back-to-school outlook
The first day of school will start out on a cool note with temperatures sliding back to around 2 to 4 C Tuesday morning, so brace for a risk of frost Wednesday morning as the mercury slides even closer toward the freezing mark.
Breezy winds will kick off the first week of school under a mix of sun and cloud with daytime highs only making it into the mid-teens on Tuesday before hopping into the upper teens for the rest of the week.
