Hope for rain dims as northern Sask. wildfires burn
Many people are waiting for rain to help in the wildfire fight in northern Saskatchewan, but whether that is coming is the big question that looms.
Environment Canada Meteorologist Shannon Moodie said we’re in a bit of an unsettled pattern weather-wise. Still, nothing major is expected to appear in the forecast over the next couple of days.
“What you’re really going to see is just like scattered showers and thunderstorms developing. So nothing that’s really going to give like a long-duration rain.”
In wildfire areas like Candle Lake, there’s a 30 per cent chance of showers and a risk of thunderstorms on Monday and Tuesday. It’s a similar story for Weyakwin, Buffalo Narrows, Île-à-la-Crosse and La Ronge during the day on Monday and into the night.
