While the summer heat is usually the main point of grumbling from residents here in the southeast, it is the skies that are grumbling throughout the day today, with a storm expected to bring five to 10 mm of rain, continuing overnight tonight.
"A pretty unsettled day across Saskatchewan, and eastern Saskatchewan, the risk of some showers and some thunderstorm activity through this afternoon, [..] the main threats being large hail, heavy downpours, and, of course, strong winds too. Looks like that thunderstorm activity will be pretty widespread and last through the overnight period, too," said Scientist Christy Climenhaga with Environment Canada.
After today's deluge, tomorrow is expected to be warm and sunny, a nice break before another system moves through, bringing with it more rain.
"We'll start to see a little more unsettled weather moving in towards Friday, even into Saturday, with a low-pressure system moving through. It looks pretty widespread and slow-moving, so it'll probably bring you in some showery weather through the start of the weekend."
Those hoping to enjoy Heritage Village Days or Tatagwa Tree Day may need to bring an umbrella.
Climenhaga said the cold weather may also result in more smoke from wildfires.
"There is a lot of smoke in the air because of those fires burning in north central Saskatchewan. We're having a little bit of a break in the southern part of the province for today, even for tomorrow, but then starting to see a little bit of a shift. Looks like we might see that smoke start poking back into southern Saskatchewan in the southeast through your day on Thursday."
Seasonal temperatures are expected to return early next week. Find the full forecast HERE.
