NetNewsLedger Weather Desk — Vermilion Bay and Dryden
A Fog Advisory is in effect early this morning for Dryden–Vermilion Bay. Areas of dense fog will lift through the morning, but until they do, visibility can drop to near zero in seconds. At 4:20 a.m. CST, Dryden Airport reported light rain and 2.8°C with humidity at 100%, pressure 101.0 kPa, a WSW wind near 13 km/h, and visibility of 1.6 km. It’s a damp, murky start with temperatures hovering just above freezing.
Today — Foggy and Drizzly Early, Then Turning Colder
Periods of rain or drizzle taper before morning, leaving a cloudy sky with patchy fog and a slight chance of drizzle. Winds tilt to the west near 20 km/h and a push of colder air drops the temperature from the low single digits to about –1°C by afternoon. Road spray gives way to slick spots as the mercury slides, especially on bridges and shaded curves. If you’re driving, use low beams in fog, slow down, and leave extra stopping room.
Tonight — Flurries Possible, Northwesterly Gusts, Icy Spots
The evening stays cloudy with a 40% chance of flurries overnight. Winds back southwest near 20 km/h and ease early, then swing northwest 20 km/h gusting to 40 later in the evening. The low near –5°C will make it feel like –11 by the overnight hours. Any damp pavement will refreeze; expect patchy black ice by dawn.
Friday and Saturday — Seasonable Chill, Then Brighter
Friday remains cloudy with a 30% chance of flurries and a colder high near –3°C. Friday night brings cloudy periods and a crisp low near –7°C. Saturday improves to a mix of sun and cloud with a milder high near +2°C, followed by a clear and cooler Saturday night near –2°C. It’s a typical late-November shuffle: nothing extreme, but quick changes underfoot after dark.
What to Wear and Road Tips
Plan layers you can adjust through the day: a warm base, a fleece or sweater, and a water- and wind-resistant shell for the drizzle and breeze. Grippy, waterproof footwear is smart for wet leaves this morning and the refreeze tonight. Visibility comes first in fog, so add reflective touches for early commutes or dog walks. On the road, lights on, speeds down, and extra space between vehicles; expect crosswinds later this evening when the northwest gusts arrive.
Local Weather Trivia
When mild, moist air slides over colder ground and snowpack around Wabigoon Lake, it brews dense fog in a hurry. That’s why one end of town can be pea soup while a few kilometres away looks clear.
