It’s going to be a mild weekend across central and southern Saskatchewan if the current forecast holds true. A low pressure system bringing snow to central and northern Saskatchewan will push temperatures to potential record breaking highs in Regina and Moose Jaw on Saturday. The Queen City could see a high of plus five, while Moose Jaw could climb to a record seven degrees.

Saskatoon’s record high for January 4th is 5 degrees. The forecast is for a high of plus 4 and in Prince Albert, plus 0. Lead forecaster with Environment Canada Brad Vrolijk says after the weekend more seasonal temperatures can be expected. Heading through Saturday night into Sunday, a northwest wind will usher in a colder air mass.
