Sunday to Tuesday – Flurries Fade, Sunshine Returns, Nights Turn Sharply Colder

THUNDER BAY—Sunday, November 16, 2025 – Weather – In Thunder Bay at 7:00 a.m. EST there is light snow at the airport and the temperature is 0.4°C.

The flakes in the Waterfront District are drifting down very gently, like pieces of down feathers.

In case you missed Saturday’s Thunder Bay Rotary Christmas Parade, we have you covered.

The barometric pressure is 101.0 kPa and rising. The humidity is 52%.

There is a northwest wind blowing at 23 km/h, gusting to 36 km/h, and the visibility is 24 km.

It’s a typical Lakehead morning: a few flakes, a strong wind, and skies that are getting clearer.

Today—Flurries in the morning, clearing in the afternoon

This morning, there will be a mix of sun and clouds, and there is a 30% chance of flurries. This afternoon, the clouds will clear. Winds from the northwest at 30 km/h, with gusts up to 50 km/h, will make it feel cooler than the high of +2°C (UV index 1 – low). There will be gusts on open stretches and overpasses.

Tonight, it will be clear and get colder.

The skies clear up and the wind picks up to 15 km/h. The temperature drops to -8°C and the wind chill makes it feel like -13°C, so it’s a two-blanket night. By dawn, there will be some black ice.

Monday: Sunny but cool

It’s sunny and there are light winds (up to 15 km/h). The high was 1°C, but the wind chill made it feel like –13 in the morning.

On Monday night, it will be clear and cold, with a low of 11°C.

Tuesday—Cold and Bright

The weather is sunny again, with a high of -1°C. Tuesday night: Clear, low 10°C. A dry, sunny stretch with chilly mornings.

What to Wear and How to Drive

A thermal base, a warm mid-layer, and a jacket that can stand up to the wind are the best ways to layer up in November. Put on a toque and gloves that keep you warm. The wind in the northwest is cold. Sunglasses help with the glare from fresh snow in the afternoon. For icy sidewalks, wear shoes that are waterproof and have good grip. Today, expect crosswinds on the roads and bridges and shaded routes to freeze again overnight.

Fun Facts About Lakehead Weather

When the wind blows from the northwest, Lake Superior can cause short lake-effect flurries in the morning. After that, the skies clear up quickly as dry air moves in. This is why one neighbourhood sees flakes and another sees sun.
