Saturday: Light Snow, Then a Mix of Sun and Cloud

Kenora and Lake of the Woods weather brings morning snow, a sunny and mild Sunday, and a mix of spring warmth and winter chills next week. Get the full forecast!

Good morning, Kenora! The day begins with light snow falling at Kenora Airport as of 5:11 AM, with a temperature of -7°C. Humidity is high at 93%, and the wind from the southwest at 7 km/h is making it feel like -11°C.

Visibility sits at 16 km, so not too bad, but take care on the roads as 2 cm of snow is expected before the snowfall tapers off this morning.

Once the snow moves out, expect a mix of sun and cloud with a 40% chance of lingering flurries. Winds will remain light, up to 15 km/h, and temperatures will climb to a high of +1°C. However, the morning wind chill will still be a brisk -14°C, so don’t let the positive temperature fool you.

The UV index remains low at 2, so while the sun might peek through, it won’t be strong enough to make a big impact.

Tonight: Clouds Increase, More Flurries Possible

Clouds will thicken early in the evening, bringing a 30% chance of flurries overnight. Winds will stay gentle, up to 15 km/h, and temperatures will drop to -7°C. The wind chill will make it feel like -10°C overnight—definitely chilly but not the worst we’ve seen this season.

Sunday: Spring-Like Sunshine!

Sunday brings a welcome break from the snow, with mainly sunny skies. Winds will shift northwest at 20 km/h in the morning, and temperatures will climb to a mild +5°C.

The morning will start chilly with a wind chill of -6°C, but by the afternoon, you might actually be tempted to unzip that winter coat! Sunday night will be relatively mild, with partly cloudy skies and a low of -4°C.

The Week Ahead: A Temperature Rollercoaster

Monday keeps the warming trend going with cloudy skies and a high of 6°C. But don’t get too comfortable—Monday night plunges to a frigid -17°C. Tuesday cools right down again, with a high of only -8°C under sunny skies. Wednesday rebounds to +1°C, but there’s a 40% chance of flurries, proving that winter isn’t quite done yet.

What to Wear?

Today, a warm coat, gloves, and boots are a good idea, especially with the morning snow and chilly wind chill. Sunday, however, might feel downright springlike, so a lighter jacket could do the trick by the afternoon. Keep those waterproof boots handy for melting snow!
