Thunderstorms are expected to roll throughout much of southern Saskatchewan on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Environment Canada meteorologist Shannon Moodie said there is a period of very unsettled weather moving through the province, bringing thunderstorms and varying amounts of rain along with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks like, in general, most of southern Saskatchewan is going to get some kind of rain over the next 24 hours,\u201d Moodie said.<\/p>\n
Much of the province can expect five to 10 millimetres of rain, the meteorologist added, while as much as 15 millimetres could fall in parts of southern Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you have a heavy thunderstorm, it can give quite a bit of rain in a quick burst, and with it being kind of a convective scenario, you can have pockets of heavier rain,\u201d explained Moodie.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this time we\u2019re not expecting a broad-scale rainfall warning, but that\u2019s not to say that there won\u2019t be severe thunderstorm warnings issued for heavy rainfall.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said both Regina and Saskatoon can expect to get some rain on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
August should be warmer than normal in Saskatchewan<\/p>\n
Despite the stormy, rainy, and cooler weather expected this week, David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada, said the month of August is expected to be warmer than normal in Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n
\u201cForget this week; it\u2019s going to come back,\u201d Phillips said during an appearance on the Greg Morgan Morning Show.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have left your holidays for August, don\u2019t fret. We haven\u2019t used up all your summer-like weather yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Phillips said he also expects September and October to be warmer than normal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would guarantee you\u2019re going to have frost in September sometime,\u201d Phillips noted.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re going to maybe have a skiff of\u00a0snow before the pumpkins come out at the end of October, but that doesn\u2019t mean that August, September and October are not going to be gorgeous.\u201d<\/p>\n
Phillips said he expects the next three months to be a bit wetter than normal as well, which should provide some help for farmers<\/a> and help clear the air of some of the wildfire smoke that has been drifting through the province all summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n The predictions for a warm end to the summer come after the season seemed to start in May for much of Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n \u201cYou had more days above 30 C in May than you had in all of June and July,\u201d Phillips said.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s ever happened before.\u201d<\/p>\n Phillips said there\u2019s still a lot of warm weather ahead for the province.<\/p>\n \u201cMy sense is, don\u2019t write the final chapter on summer-like weather,\u201d he said. \u201cWe still have a lot of summer to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thunderstorms are expected to roll throughout much of southern Saskatchewan on Tuesday.
