Friday Turns Slippery Before a Windy, Wintry Saturday
GERALDTON / GREENSTONE — 6:00 a.m. EST, Friday, November 14, 2025
At the airport it’s –9.9°C (feels like –12), partly cloudy, with pressure 101.9 kPa, humidity 91%, a calm wind, and 16 km visibility. Cold, quiet air this morning will give way to a messy mix this afternoon and tonight, then a sharp, windy cool-down on Saturday.
Today — Mainly Cloudy, Spot Flurries and a Freezing Rain Risk
Clouds thicken with a 30% chance of flurries late this morning and this afternoon. There’s a risk of freezing rain this afternoon as a milder layer noses in above freezing air aloft while surfaces stay cold. Wind becomes southeast 20 km/h early this afternoon. The high reaches 0°C, but it will feel near –12 this morning. Sidewalks, steps, and Hwy 11/transitions may glaze quickly if brief freezing rain develops.
Tonight — Drizzle to Rain; Temperature Rises by Morning
Mainly cloudy with a 30% chance of rain showers this evening and after midnight, then periods of rain beginning after midnight. Another early-evening risk of freezing rain before temperatures climb. Wind south 20 km/h gusting to 40, becoming light before morning. Temperature rises to +2°C by morning. Expect wet roads by daybreak, but watch for slick patches in shaded spots.
Saturday — Rain Ends, Then Windy with Flurries and Falling Temps
Periods of rain end near noon, then cloudy with a 60% chance of flurries or rain showers in the afternoon as colder air pours in. Wind northwest 30 km/h gusting to 60 will make it feel raw. High near +3°C falling to –1°C in the afternoon; expect bursts of blowing snow in open areas when flurries pass.
Saturday night: Cloudy with a 40% chance of flurries, low –5°C.
Sunday — Stubborn Cloud, On-and-Off Flurries
Cloudy with a 40% chance of flurries, high –1°C.
Sunday night: Cloudy periods with a 40% flurry chance, low –7°C.

A mix of sun and cloud, high 0°C.
Monday night: Cloudy periods, low –7°C.
What to Wear & Safety Tips
-
Today/tonight: Dress in layers—thermal base, warm mid-layer, wind- and water-resistant shell.
-
Footwear: Non-slip, waterproof shoes—freezing rain can glaze surfaces fast.
-
Saturday: Add a toque and insulated gloves; NW gusts to 60 km/h will sting.
-
Driving: Slow down for glaze ice today and early evening; give plows/sanders space Saturday; expect sudden visibility drops in flurries and crosswinds on Highway 11.

Greenstone Weather Trivia
When slightly warmer air rides over a cold surface layer, you get freezing rain—raindrops supercool, then freeze on contact. It doesn’t take long: a few minutes of glaze can turn steps and sidewalks into a rink.
