Fog Fades Fast as Kenora Warms Up for the Weekend
KENORA – WEATHER – The Lake of the Woods region is waking up under mostly cloudy skies and a crisp 1.0°C this Friday morning, according to observations from the Kenora Airport at 5:00 AM CDT. With a nearly invisible breeze from the north at 3 km/h and humidity sitting at a heavy 97%, it’s a still and serene start to the day. Fog patches are hanging around early but will gradually lift as the morning unfolds. Visibility is sitting pretty at 32 km — if you can see through the fog, it’s actually a great travel day.
The barometric pressure reads 102.8 kPa and is on the rise — always a hopeful sign for better skies ahead. And indeed, they are! Expect clearing conditions throughout the morning, eventually giving way to sunshine and a welcome warm-up to a high of 15°C. It’s a proper “spring is on the way” kind of day. The UV index climbs to a moderate 5, so if you’re planning some midday fishing or a stroll by the lake, sunscreen isn’t a bad idea.
Tonight: Clear Skies and a Cool Dip
As the sun sets, conditions remain calm and clear, with temperatures dropping to a brisk -1°C. Overnight fog patches will redevelop, so keep that in mind if you’re heading out for an early start on Saturday. With calm winds and clear skies, frost may also sneak into low-lying areas — time to tuck in those tulips.
Weekend Forecast: Sunny Saturday Turns to Shower Chances
Saturday looks like a proper spring gem. After the morning fog lifts, expect a full day of sunshine and a high of 17°C — that’s shorts-and-sneakers weather if you’re feeling bold. Winds will shift to the southwest at 20 km/h by late morning, adding a touch of energy to the air. UV index remains moderate at 5, so your sunglasses and sunscreen will come in handy.
Saturday night turns cloudy, with a 30 percent chance of showers rolling in and a surprisingly mild low of 8°C — no complaints from those looking forward to more consistent warmth.
Sunday continues the trend of cloudier skies and a 40 percent chance of showers throughout the day. Highs dip slightly to 12°C, still comfortable enough for outdoor plans — just with a raincoat on standby. Sunday night brings an even higher 60 percent chance of showers with the temperature holding at 8°C.
Monday’s Weather Plot Twist: Rain… and Maybe Snow?
Monday brings more wet weather with periods of rain and a daytime high of 13°C. But don’t get too cozy — by nightfall, temperatures drop sharply to -3°C, and we could see rain switching over to snow. Just when you thought winter was finished with us, it whispers, “not so fast.”
What to Wear in Kenora Today
Start your day with warm layers — it’s still chilly early on. But by afternoon, you’ll want to switch to lighter spring gear. A light jacket should do, and maybe toss in the sunglasses and a thermos — one for the sun, one for the chill.
