Environment Canadas sense of humour with their special weather statement for Grey Cup Sunday in Regina, SK. Special weather statement issued by Environment Canada at 11:43 AM CST. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Special weather statement for: =new= City of Regina. Grey cup Sunday weather outlook. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ==discussion== The stampede of fans heading to Regina for the 101st grey cup has begun. The cold weather this week came in like a lion, but will be a tabby by Sunday in comparison. There was a cold leadup to the 101st grey cup this week, but by game day the weather will not be giving anyone too rough a ride. For those who argoing to the game Sunday, milder conditions are expected. Daytime highs are currently forecast to be minus 1 by mid afternoon. This is slightly above normal which for this time of year implies a high of minus 4 celcius. By kick off time however temperatures are expected to be closer to minus 3 falling to minus 7 celcius or so by the fourth quarter. Winds Sunday will be from the west to northwest and are expected to be light to moderate. Mosaic stadium has a tendency to funnel winds meaning they could be locally higher in the stands. This will result in wind chill values near minus 10 celcius initialy and minus 15 or so towards the end of the game. As the wind chill may be a factor, a warm bomber jacket or eskimo attire would seem a good idea. Sunny skies will begin the day and skies will remain clear with no real hint of precipitation. Considering how cold it could be, most should be happy as an alouette (lark) come Sunday.
