Sunday, November 16 through Tuesday, November 18, 2025
A cold, clear start sets up a bright stretch for the Kenora, Grassy Narrows, and Lake of the Woods region. At 5:00 a.m. CST, Kenora Airport is partly cloudy at –4.4°C with a wind chill of –9. The barometric pressure is 101.4 kPa and rising, humidity is 73%, and winds are WNW 10 km/h with excellent visibility of 32 km. It feels like winter on the cheeks, but sunshine will help.
Today – Sunny, Turning Breezy from the Northwest
Expect mainly sunny skies. Winds become northwest 20 km/h this morning, adding a bite early, then easing a touch by late day. The high reaches near 0°C, but the morning wind chill near –12 will make it feel colder on open ground and along exposed lake shores. UV index is 1 (low).
Tonight – Mostly Clear and Cold
Skies stay mostly clear with light winds up to 15 km/h. The low falls to –10°C, with a wind chill near –13 overnight. Any damp spots will refreeze—watch docks, decks, and bridges.
Monday and Tuesday – Quiet Sunshine, Seasonably Cold
Monday: Sunny, light winds up to 15 km/h, and a high near –1°C. Expect a morning wind chill around –13, improving to about –3 in the afternoon. Monday night remains clear, low –12°C.
Tuesday: Sunny again with a high near 0°C. Tuesday night stays clear, low around –8°C. It’s a classic mid-November pattern: bright days, crisp nights.
What to Wear & Travel Tips
Layer smart: a thermal base, warm mid-layer, and a wind-resistant shell handle the northwest breeze. Add a toque and insulated gloves for the morning school run or a shoreline walk. Choose grippy, waterproof footwear—mornings will be frosty. On the roads, plan for patchy black ice late tonight and early mornings, and a few crosswind moments on exposed stretches when the northwest breeze freshens.
Lake of the Woods Trivia
With thousands of islands, a light northwest wind can funnel into surprisingly choppy pockets while the next bay sits calm. That’s why a short boat hop can feel like two different lakes.
