Dryden Weather Morning Snapshot

Thunder Bay – Weather Desk – Dryden is starting Tuesday in a misty mood with -7°C (measured -7.2°C) at 4:42 AM CST. The air is loaded with moisture at 93% humidity, which explains the mist and the slightly muted visibility at 10 km.

Barometric pressure is 101.3 kPa, and a brisk west wind at 22 km/h (gusting 33 km/h) is pushing the wind chill to -15—not brutal yet, but definitely not “coffee on the porch” weather.

Today: Snow Ends Early, Freezing Drizzle Risk, Then Flurries

Periods of snow are expected to end early this morning, then the day turns cloudy with a 40% chance of flurries. There’s a risk of freezing drizzle early, which can lay down a thin glaze that’s tough to spot until your boots (or tires) vote “nope.”

Winds stay west 20 km/h gusting to 40, then ease this afternoon. The bigger shift is temperature: it falls to around -13°C this afternoon, with wind chill hovering near -18.

Wardrobe call

Dress for “wet-cold turning dry-cold.” Waterproof boots with grip help early, then switch the focus to wind protection: a warm base layer, insulated jacket, mitts, and something for your face if you’ll be outside later today.

Tonight: Quiet Skies, Bigger Cold

Tonight remains mainly cloudy with a 30% chance of flurries. Low drops to -19°C, and wind chill slides from about -16 this evening to near -26 overnight.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Wednesday, Dec 24

Wednesday stays cloudy with a 30% chance of flurries early. High near -6°C. Wind chill sits around -19 in the morning, easing to about -8 in the afternoon. Wednesday night: cloudy periods, low -19°C.

Thursday, Dec 25

Christmas Day is cloudy with a 40% chance of flurries, high near -11°C. Thursday night turns more active with periods of snow, holding near -11°C.

Friday: More Snow

Friday continues with periods of snow, warming to around -5°C, then Friday night cools to -7°C with a 30% chance of flurries.

Travel note

The main issue today is early: mist + freezing drizzle risk can make roads and sidewalks slick before you even see it. Later, as temperatures fall, any damp spots can refreeze—so take turns slowly and give extra stopping distance, especially on untreated stretches outside town.

Weather trivia

Mist at sub-zero temps is nature’s reminder that winter doesn’t need a blizzard to cause trouble—sometimes it just needs a little moisture and a lot of stubborn cold.
