Many of the extreme cold warnings that were in effect across Saskatchewan were lifted Thursday afternoon, and warmer temperatures are on the way.
As of 4 p.m., Environment Canada’s extreme cold warnings were only in place in northeast Saskatchewan.
Things warmed up throughout the day Thursday, but that didn’t mean anyone should have left their toque at home. Saskatoon was expecting a high of -22 C, and Regina was expected to be even colder with a high of just -24 C.
The good news is that warmer temperatures are on the horizon.
David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada, said warmer Pacific air is moving into the prairies this week after the arctic blast that brought with it frigid temperatures.
Over the next 10 days, Phillips said the extreme cold will be replaced by more normal early-February temperatures.
“I see not necessarily melting temperatures, but seasonal temperatures,” Phillips said.
Phillips’ optimism was reflected in the forecast. By Tuesday, Environment Canada is expecting a daytime high of 0 C in Saskatoon and 1 C in Regina.
