A Calm and Cloudy Stretch with Just a Hint of Rain Ahead
DRYDEN – WEATHER – Autumn is slowly making itself at home in Dryden and Vermilion Bay, but it’s doing so politely—no big weather drama, no frost (yet), and just enough cloud cover to remind us that summer’s long goodbye is underway. If you were hoping for a quiet weekend to enjoy the outdoors in a light jacket, you’re in luck.
Today: Cloudy Calm with a Touch of Warmth
At 6:00 AM CDT, the skies above Dryden Airport are cloudy, with a temperature of 11.5°C and a humidity level of 96%—the kind of morning that’s just a bit damp around the edges. A gentle northeast wind at 9 km/h is keeping the air still and cool, while visibility is a decent 16 km. The barometric pressure is 102.4 kPa and holding steady, pointing to a stable, uneventful weather day ahead.
Skies will remain mainly cloudy, and the wind will shift to come from the east at 20 km/h later this afternoon. The temperature will rise to a pleasant high of 20°C, with a moderate UV index of 5. It’s one of those “neither here nor there” kind of days—warm enough to skip the sweater by afternoon, but not quite sunny enough to feel like summer.
Tonight: Mild and Mostly Cloudy
Tonight, the skies stay mainly cloudy, and the low will dip to 11°C. It’ll be another relatively mild night—no frost worries, but maybe keep the windows closed to avoid that creeping damp air.
Friday: Repeat Forecast, With a Small Chance of Rain
Friday, September 19, will bring another mainly cloudy day with a steady high of 20°C. The conditions are comfortable, if a bit dull—and for many, that’s perfect fall hiking or fishing weather.
Friday night, there’s a 30 percent chance of showers, and skies will turn cloudy with periods of clearing. Temperatures remain stable with an overnight low of 10°C.
The Weekend Outlook: A Little Sunshine, A Few Raindrops
Saturday, September 20, offers a mix of sun and cloud, and a 30 percent chance of showers, continuing that familiar pattern. The high will reach 19°C, making it another mild and manageable day for fall activities. Saturday night brings cloudy periods and a continued 30 percent chance of showers, with a low of 11°C.
Sunday, September 21, looks like the best of the bunch, with a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 20°C. It should stay dry, making it the prime day to enjoy some time outside before Monday rolls around. Sunday night sees cloudy periods and a low of 10°C.
What to Wear?
Fall layering is key—light jackets and long sleeves for the morning, breathable fabrics for the afternoon warmth. Bring a rain shell if you’re out Friday evening or Saturday, just in case one of those scattered showers shows up uninvited.
Weather Trivia: Why Is It So Cloudy?
Dryden and Vermilion Bay sit in a zone where moisture from nearby lakes and the boreal forest often collides with cool northern air masses this time of year. The result? Lots of low-level cloud cover, especially during calm, humid mornings—just like the one we’re having today.
