THUNDER BAY – WEATHER – The forecast across the region includes a freezing rain warning for Aroland and Nakina. The snowfall alerts for Sandy Lake and Deer Lake have ended.

Thunder Bay

Today, we’re expecting mainly cloudy skies with a 60% chance of showers. Good news for those who love rainy weather, bad news for those who just washed their car. But wait, there’s more! Fog patches will be dissipating this morning, so you might actually be able to see where you’re going.

We’re looking at a high of 12, so it’s not exactly shorts weather, but at least it’s not freezing. The UV index will be 5, which means you should probably still wear sunscreen if you’re planning to spend some time outside.

Tonight, the clouds are here to stay, with a 60% chance of rain showers early in the evening. But hold on to your hats, because we might get hit with a thunderstorm tonight! And just to make things a little more exciting, we have a risk of freezing rain overnight. So, make sure to grab your umbrella, your rain boots, and your ice skates, because it’s going to be a wild ride.

The winds will be picking up tonight, becoming north at 20 km/h. The low will be zero, so don’t forget to cuddle up with a warm blanket tonight.

Fort Frances

This morning, we can expect cloudy skies with a 40% chance of drizzle. But wait, there’s more! We might see periods of rain mixed with ice pellets beginning near noon. So, if you’re planning to go outside, make sure to bring your umbrella and your ice scraper.

Fog patches will be dissipating this morning, so don’t worry about driving through a thick blanket of fog. The winds will be becoming northwest at 20 km/h this morning, so hold on to your hats.

We’re looking at a high of plus 5, which is not too bad, but the UV index will be 4, so you might want to wear some sunscreen if you’re planning to be outside for a while.

Tonight, we can expect periods of rain mixed with ice pellets changing to snow mixed with ice pellets in the evening. So, make sure to bundle up and stay warm, because it’s going to get chilly. The winds will be north at 20 km/h, gusting to 40, so you might want to secure any loose objects outside.

Wasaho Cree Nation

Hey there, Wasaho Cree Nation! It’s time to get your daily dose of weather wackiness with your favorite weather watcher, Lance Matthews.

Today is going to be “mainly cloudy,” which is weather-talk for “not sunny at all.” The wind will be coming in from the northeast at 20 km/h, making it feel colder than a penguin’s toenails. We’re looking at a high of minus 5, so it’s time to break out those winter coats, folks. And don’t forget your mittens!

Tonight, things will remain “mainly cloudy,” which means we won’t be seeing any stars. The wind will shift to the northeast at 20 km/h before finally taking a break in the evening. The low will be around minus 9, so make sure to snuggle up with a hot cocoa and a cozy blanket.

That’s all for now, Wasaho Cree Nation! Stay warm and keep smiling, even if the weather’s not on our side.
