WATCH: Much of Saskatchewan was hit by a sudden heatwave on Monday, with people making the most of the spike in temperature – May 17, 2021

The first warm spell of 2021 won’t last long.

Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for southern Saskatchewan, with daytime highs expected to hover around the 30-degree mark on Monday.

That will change on Tuesday when a cold front starts tracking across the northwestern grain belt, bringing cooler temperatures to those areas.

The remainder of southern Saskatchewan is forecast to have hot conditions again on Tuesday, however Environment Canada said the cold front will generate widespread showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and into the evening.
