Wednesday, September 30th | 12z NAM - 2M Temperature
The great divide between Canada’s changing Autumn season and reluctant heat that has parts of the country reeling in above normal temperatures is expected to set up camp across Saskatchewan over the next several days. A warmer pattern is set to evolve over the next three days with temperatures steadily climbing into the upper teens across much of western Saskatchewan. Southwestern areas will openly rope in the warmth with communities through the region feeling the heat as temperatures climb into the 20’s. The heat will continue to expand across the province with many communities climbing over the 20°C mark especially as we head through the upcoming weekend. What a way to kick off October!
The colder weather remains east through parts of Manitoba and especially once you move into Ontario where chilly temperatures will continue to ride a roller coaster through the province bringing the chance there for wet snow at times. Enough about the cold, it’s locked through Ontario, lets take a look at the incoming heat!

Looking at the latest European guidance you can see the heat lifting through the northern plains of the U.S. as it gets drawn into Saskatchewan pushing temperatures well above seasonal. The map above shows anticipated temperatures at 6pm Friday, October 9th. Temperatures over the next 10 days are expected to remain above seasonal for much of the period throughout much of the province. There is some guidance hinting at a cool down come mid-to-late month so be sure to enjoy this late season heat while you can.

Along with the increasing temperatures much of the province will continue to remain dry with very little in the way of rainfall during the next 10 days. The latest guidance continues to show very little in the way of precipitation to go along with the heat. It’ll be quite a picturesque pattern for those who love outdoor activities and taking in the fall colors over the next several days with many likely to hope it continues into the Thanksgiving weekend. We’ll have more on Thanksgiving in a separate article.. You can see how much of the precipitation is locked across portions of Ontario and Eastern Canada with British Columbia also seeing there typical share of rainfall as Central Canada remains fairly stable and dry.

With the warmer temperatures and drier conditions prevailing across the province communities won’t be worrying too much about snowfall as the Eastern-half of Canada feels the chill from waves of colder temperatures and even wet snow at times - accumulating in a few communities from now until Thanks-giving. Eventually as we near the middle of the month and after the festive holiday we’ll likely see the potential begin to build further west into parts of the province, again after the Thanks-giving weekend.
