Geraldton Weather December 23 Morning Check

Thunder Bay – Weather Desk – Geraldton is waking up to light snow and -13.1°C at 5:46 AM EST. The air is damp and wintry with 88% humidity, and the barometer sits at 101.4 kPa. Winds are ENE 11 km/h, putting the wind chill at -19, and visibility is down to 4 km, so it’s a “take it easy” kind of morning for driving.

What’s happening today

Snow hangs around early, with about 2 cm expected before it ends late this morning. After that, skies stay cloudy with a 40% chance of flurries. The morning also carries a risk of freezing drizzle, which is sneaky stuff—roads can look merely wet but behave like a skating rink.

By early afternoon, the wind pivots and ramps up: northwest 30 km/h gusting to 50. Even with a high near -11°C, the wind will drag the feel of it down, with wind chill around -23 this afternoon.

Wardrobe call

Think “windproof and warm.” A proper winter coat, insulated boots, and mitts are the basics. Add a scarf or neck warmer if you’ll be outside for more than a quick dash—those gusts will find any gap in your layers.

Tonight

Tonight stays mainly cloudy, but it gets colder: low near -21°C. Winds ease later in the evening, but wind chill still slides to about -28 overnight, and frostbite risk remains.

Midweek outlook

Wednesday, Dec 24

Wednesday stays cloudy, with a 40% chance of flurries in the morning and early afternoon. High near -6°C—a bit milder—but the day starts with a punchy morning wind chill near -28, easing to around -10 in the afternoon. Wednesday night turns to cloudy periods with a low near -22°C.

Christmas Day into Friday

Christmas Day looks cloudy with a high near -16°C, and periods of snow move in Christmas night (low -19°C). Snow continues into Friday with a high around -8°C, then Friday night brings a 40% chance of flurries and a low near -9°C.

Travel note

This morning’s combo of reduced visibility plus possible freezing drizzle is the big concern early on. Later today, those 50 km/h gusts can kick up blowing snow in open areas—especially on stretches outside town—so keep lights on, leave extra distance, and watch for sudden visibility drops.

Weather trivia

Greenstone’s weather can flip fast because it sits in the “in-between zone” where northern cold and Lake Superior influence both try to run the show. Some days, they compromise. Other days… they argue loudly.

The Last Word:
Greenstone/Geraldton: light snow and low visibility this morning with freezing drizzle risk, then gusty NW winds. Colder tonight, flurries midweek.
