Clear Skies and a Gusty Westerly for Monday, Then a Quiet, Cool Stretch
KENORA / GRASSY NARROWS / LAKE OF THE WOODS – A fresh, bright November morning greets the region with classic shoulder-season vibes: cool air, crisp visibility, and a westerly breeze that’ll flap a flag. At 5:00 AM CST Monday, November 3, 2025, the Kenora Airport reports clear skies and 2.5°C.
The barometric pressure is 100.9 kPa and rising, a sign of fair weather building in.
Humidity sits at 67% with a dew point of –3.1°C, and a west wind near 17 km/h with gusts to 29 km/h. Visibility is an excellent 32 km, making this a picture-perfect sunrise start.
Today – Sunny, Breezy, and Cool
Sunshine rules the day, though it comes with a notable breeze. Expect west winds 30 km/h gusting to 50, adding a bite to the otherwise bright conditions. The afternoon high reaches 8°C, with a UV index of 1 (low). On and around Lake of the Woods, choppy waves and tricky docking are possible during the gustier hours; on land, mind those car doors in open parking lots.
Tonight – Clear and Calming
Skies stay clear through the evening. Winds ease from west 20 km/h gusting to 40 to light late this evening, and the temperature slides to around 0°C by dawn. With calm air and clear sky, low-lying and sheltered areas could see a touch of frost on rooftops and decks by morning.
Tuesday – Mixed Sun and Cloud, Seasonable Temps
Tuesday brings a gentle blend of sun and cloud with a steady high near 8°C. The air remains dry and comfortable, and winds are lighter than Monday—good news for leaf rakers and dog walkers. Another clear night follows with a low near 0°C, meaning another likely frost for gardens and windshields.
Wednesday – Cloudier but Quiet
Mid-week turns cloudy with a cooler feel as the high tops out near 6°C. While it looks mainly dry, the thicker cloud will keep the sun at bay. Skies clear again overnight, returning to a low near 0°C and another crisp start Thursday.
What to Wear (and Pack)
Think layers you can fine-tune through the day. A warm base layer, mid-weight fleece, and a wind-resistant jacket will make those westerly gusts far friendlier. Add a toque and light gloves for early morning errands, and consider sturdy shoes—fallen leaves can be slick when the sun dips. If you’re on the water, plan for the gusts today; calmer conditions arrive tonight into Tuesday.
Lake of the Woods Trivia
Lake of the Woods is famous for its maze of over 14,500 islands. On breezy days like today, that labyrinth breaks up waves and funnels wind in surprising ways—one bay can be glassy while the next is a whitecap factory. Local knowledge is gold out there.
