Monday night
Clouds roll into with a good chance of rain in Regina on Monday night with an overnight low in low double digits as spotty showers linger at times in Saskatoon too as temperatures sneak into single digits.

Rain will return on Thursday with a system passing through southern Saskatchewan as daytime highs duck back further into low double digits before sunshine returns on Friday with single-digit daytime highs.
Weekend outlook
The first weekend of fall will start with clouds rolling in on Saturday before a system passing by combines with an arctic airmass pushing in from the north to generate rain and snow in Regina with snow likely in Saskatoon by Sunday morning.
Some of the snow could linger into Monday morning in some areas as morning lows fall below freezing and daytime highs sink into mid-single digits through the weekend.
This is still a few days away, so you will want to keep checking back in for the latest on this developing system, but snow is showing up in all major long-range models, which heightens certainty with this system.
