Tuesday

A mix of sun and cloud will kick off the day on Tuesday before skies clear to bring about a mostly sunny late morning and afternoon.

Temperatures soar during the day, making their way back into the low 30s, but with humidity, it will feel like the mid-30s as a major upper ridge pushes through.

Besides a few clouds slipping through, Tuesday will be mostly sunny in Saskatoon and Regina. SkyTracker Weather

Wednesday-Friday

A system developing in Alberta will build clouds in during the day on Wednesday, bringing in a return to the severe thunderstorm risk later in the day with afternoon highs soaring back into the 30s.

Clouds and showers will linger behind the system on Thursday in Saskatoon with daytime highs knocked back into the low 20s as drier conditions prevail in Regina before both cities rebound to the mid-20s on Friday.
