Environment Canada says the province is in for a warm up.
After a week of cold temperatures around the province, Environment Canada meteorologist Mark Melsness said the mercury will be moving up to above seasonal values.
The reason behind the cold temperatures was an arctic air mass settling over-top of the province, according to Melsness.
He said the past week has been a “series of high’s and low’s,” with temperatures Saturday morning falling to – 31 C in Saskatoon. Melsness said there was a cold front that came through Sunday, but help is on the way.
“We’re looking at, kind of, back and forth weather over the next day or two, and then warming up on Wednesday.”
Sunday afternoon, Environment Canada forecast a high of – 1 C for Regina, and – 2 C in Saskatoon for Wednesday.
Melsness said the southwest region will be more mild than the rest of the province once the arctic air pushes through.
When it comes to how long we’ll have the mild temperatures, Melsness had more good news.
“Looks like for at least a few days. We’re not really seeing any return of the arctic air mass in the foreseeable future,” he said.
Melsness said if the temperatures do reach 0 C, there could be issues with frost coming through Saskatchewan highways.
