Cool and calm this morning — but windy weather, showers, and even a touch of snow are on the way

Weather Trivia
Did you know?
Snow isn’t all that rare in Sioux Lookout in early October. The earliest recorded snowfall here occurred as early as September 30, and while accumulation is unlikely Tuesday, flurries mixed with rain are a classic signal that the first real Arctic air of the season is moving in.
Keep warm and wind-proof this evening — and prepare for that unmistakable hint of winter in the air by Tuesday morning. Stay tuned to the NetNewsLedger Weather Desk for ongoing updates.
