The Riders made some roster moves ahead of the game against the Edmonton Elks.
The arrival of hot weather this week has prompted more heat warnings in Saskatchewan.
Environment Canada expanded heating warnings Tuesday to include central and southwest areas.
The alerts say temperatures will reach 32 C during the day and will stay at or above 16 C overnight for the next 3 days. The combination meets the criteria for a warning in the southern half of the province.
The criteria in the northern half of the province is a daytime high of 29 C and overnight lows at or above 14 C for two consecutive days.
As for Tuesday morning, the warnings did not include Saskatoon and Regina, however Chris Stammers from Environment Canada says the warnings will expand eastward.
Stammer said while it will be warm, it shouldn’t be too uncomfortable.
“It’s more of a dry heat, compared to what we’ve seen earlier in the summer. So that makes it a little easier to deal with.”
The weather agency said the warmest day of the week for many areas will be on Thursday, before a slight cool down with temperatures in the upper 20s.
