Foggy Start to the Week – Kenora’s Weather Keeps Things Mysterious
It’s a hazy, damp start to the new week across Kenora, Grassy Narrows, Whitedog, and the Lake of the Woods region, where a thick fog is currently smothering visibility to just 400 metres. If you’re out driving this morning, keep those fog lights on and take it slow—the scenery will have to wait.
Today’s Forecast – Fog Lifts, Winds Pick Up, Showers Linger
As of 5:00 AM CDT, the temperature sits at a muggy 14.9°C with 100% humidity—no surprise given the dense fog hugging the ground. Winds are currently from the west at 10 km/h, but are expected to strengthen later this morning. The barometric pressure is on the rise at 100.7 kPa, hinting at some stabilizing weather once the fog moves out.
The forecast for today calls for cloudy skies with a 40% chance of showers or drizzle, particularly in the early part of the day. Once the fog patches finally burn off, expect winds from the southwest picking up to 30 km/h, gusting to 50, pushing temperatures to a high of 21°C. The UV index is 8—very high, so even with overcast skies, sunscreen is still your best friend.
Looking Ahead – Sunshine and Warmer Days
Tonight, skies will become partly cloudy, though there’s still a 40% chance of evening showers. Fog patches will likely redevelop overnight as winds calm. Expect an overnight low of 10°C.
Tuesday looks to be a gem: sunny skies, with morning fog patches clearing and south winds gusting to 40 km/h by late afternoon. Temperatures will reach a pleasant 22°C, and that UV index remains strong at 7 or high.
Tuesday night remains clear, with a mild low of 15°C, before increasing cloud cover on Wednesday brings a high of 21°C and sets the tone for a cloudier second half of the week.
Wardrobe Wisdom
This is one of those days where layers are your best friend. Start with a light jacket for the foggy morning, switch to breathable clothes for the breezy afternoon, and have an umbrella handy just in case. And don’t forget those sunglasses for tomorrow!
Weather Trivia:
Did you know that Kenora holds the record for the foggiest single day in Northwestern Ontario, with over 21 hours of recorded fog in June 1992? While today may not break records, it’s certainly giving that stat a respectful nod.
