A Moist Morning and a Stormy Possibility
The morning begins on a muggy note across Fort Frances and neighbouring First Nations, with temperatures hovering at 12.8°C and humidity clocking in at 91%. While the skies have yet to show their hand (“Not observed” as per the report), the barometric pressure at 100.9 kPa is falling, signaling an atmospheric shuffle is underway. Winds are currently west-southwest at 3 km/h, but will shift to the northwest at 20 km/h, gusting up to 40 km/h later this morning.
Your Monday forecast calls for a mix of sun and cloud, but don’t be fooled — there’s a 60% chance of showers, and the risk of thunderstorms looms this afternoon. Keep an umbrella at arm’s reach, and maybe postpone the BBQ until the radar clears. Expect a high of 22°C, though the humidex will nudge it up to 27, giving it that sticky summer feel. The UV index sits at 6, which is still high enough to call for sunscreen if you’re out before any clouds roll in.
Monday Night: A Stormy Start, A Starry Finish
This evening brings more unsettled conditions with a 60% chance of showers and potential thunderstorms, but skies are forecast to clear overnight. Winds will ease from gusty northwest breezes to calm conditions by bedtime. Expect a low of 15°C, ideal for sleeping with the windows open — as long as the bugs are kept at bay.
Canada Day Forecast – Classic Summer Vibes
Tuesday, July 1st, is shaping up to be a beauty. While there’s a 30% chance of morning or early afternoon showers, skies will gradually clear. Northwest winds at 20 km/h will keep the heat from feeling oppressive. The high will reach 28°C, with a humidex of 31 — a true summer day to celebrate Canada! Whether you’re by the lake, on the grill, or under fireworks, conditions look favourable by evening, which will be clear with a low of 13°C.
Midweek and Beyond – Sunshine Rolls In
Looking ahead, both Wednesday and Thursday promise uninterrupted sunshine, with highs of 27°C and 28°C respectively, and clear skies at night dipping down to 11°C and 17°C. Ideal weather for hiking, swimming, or just watching the waves roll in.
Wardrobe Tip
Pack for versatility today — a light jacket or rain shell is wise for those passing showers or storms, but lightweight, breathable clothing will serve you well once the sun returns. Don’t forget the sunscreen and bug spray if you’re venturing outdoors.
Weather Fun Fact:
Did you know? Fort Frances holds a fascinating place in Ontario weather lore — in 1995, it reached a scorching 38°C in late June, one of the region’s highest-ever recorded summer temps. Thankfully, today’s not quite that fiery!
