Bitter Cold Morning with a Chance of Flurries This Afternoon

THUNDER BAY – WEATHER DESK – The new week is starting off cold and quiet in Sioux Lookout, with temperatures plunging to -21.9°C at 5:00 AM CST. While skies are partly cloudy, this is no time to bask in the brightness — the wind chill sits at -28°C, thanks to southerly breezes at 8 km/h. Combine that with 77% humidity, and it’s a crisp one out there.

Visibility is excellent at 24 km, and the barometric pressure is at 102.7 kPa, though it’s falling, hinting at unsettled skies later today.

The forecast calls for a mainly cloudy day with a 30% chance of light flurries this afternoon. Temperatures will “climb” to a high of -13°C, but the wind chill will still make it feel like -19°C. The morning’s wind chill of -30°C means there is a risk of frostbite, so any skin exposure should be brief and well-covered.

Tonight: Cloudy and Cold, But Calm

Tonight stays cloudy, with another 30% chance of flurries early in the evening. Winds remain light, up to 15 km/h, and the temperature will hold steady near -15°C, with a wind chill around -20°C. No significant snow accumulation is expected, but don’t be surprised if the car needs a quick brush-off in the morning.

Tuesday and Mid-Week Outlook: Flurries Fade, Sunshine Returns

Tuesday keeps things cloudy, with a 40% chance of flurries throughout the day. The high will rise to -12°C, and wind chill values will range from -21°C in the morning to -16°C in the afternoon. Not a heatwave, but a touch warmer than today.

Tuesday night clears out with temperatures dropping to -22°C under a starlit sky. Wednesday and Thursday will be sunny and cold, with daytime highs around -15°C to -16°C and nighttime lows falling back into the -22°C to -25°C range.

Flurries may return late Thursday into Friday, but for now, the snow remains light and scattered.

What to Wear

Frostbite-prevention fashion alert! Today’s gear list includes:

• Insulated parka with wind resistance

• Thermal base layers and thick socks

• Snow boots and mitts

• Hat, scarf, and face covering — your cheeks will thank you
  Today is all about staying covered, not stylish — unless you’re into the “I’m dressed like a walking sleeping bag” aesthetic.

❄️ Weather Trivia Time!

Did you know? Sioux Lookout is known as the “Hub of the North” because of its key role in connecting remote communities. And in winter, it’s also a hub of hardcore cold — wind chills below -30°C are common, and locals take pride in their ability to function in weather that would terrify most tourists.
