Current Conditions in Geraldton
Thunder Bay – Weather Desk – At 5:00 AM EST Friday, December 26, 2025, Geraldton Airport is reporting light snow and a temperature of -11.2°C(call it -11°C).
The air is holding plenty of moisture with 87% humidity, and the barometric pressure is 101.1 kPa.
Winds are ESE at 13 km/h, giving a wind chill of -18—the kind of chill that makes your nose question your life choices. Visibility is reduced to 1.6 km, so headlights-on and patience-up is the move.
Snowfall Warning: What it Means Today
A Yellow Snowfall Warning remains in effect with moderate impact and high forecast confidence. Significant snowfall continues, with near 15 cm expected in the area.
Visibility may drop at times in heavier snow, and while the strongest blowing snow risk is closer to Lake Superior, the overall message for the Geraldton–Greenstone stretch is the same: travel can be challenging, especially this morning.
Today: Heavy Snow Tapers, Then Cloudy With Flurry Chance
For today, expect snow at times heavy ending late this morning, then turning cloudy with a 40% chance of flurries. There’s also a risk of freezing drizzle this afternoon, which is winter’s sneaky way of making everything shiny and slippery. Local additional snowfall amounts are expected around 2 to 4 cm. Winds stay light, up to 15 km/h, with a high near -2°C. Wind chill values are expected around -16 this morning, improving to about -4 this afternoon.
Travel Notes for Highway 11
With reduced visibility in snow this morning and the potential for slick spots later, travel is best done slowly and with extra space between vehicles. If you’re heading out early, plan for changing conditions over short distances—snow bands love to redecorate the highway without warning. The OPP were suggesting postponing travel.
Tonight: Cloudy and Colder Again
Tonight stays cloudy, with winds up to 15 km/h and a low near -9°C. Wind chill values slide from about -6 this eveningto around -11 overnight, which is prime “plug in the car and keep the good mitts near the door” weather.
Saturday: A Bit of Everything, Because Winter Likes Variety
Saturday looks cloudy, with a 30% chance of flurries in the morning and early afternoon. Snow mixed with ice pelletsis expected to begin early in the afternoon, and there remains a risk of freezing drizzle earlier in the day. Local snow and ice pellet amounts are around 2 cm, with a high near -2°C. Saturday night brings periods of snow and a low near -8°C.
Sunday Into Midweek: Flurries, Then a Deep Freeze Mood
Sunday stays cloudy with a 60% chance of flurries, high near -3°C, then another 60% flurry chance Sunday night with a low near -14°C. Monday turns colder with a 40% chance of flurries and a high near -13°C, then clears out to a biting -28°C Monday night. Tuesday keeps the cold with a 40% chance of flurries and a high near -17°C, then a 60% chance of flurries again Tuesday night around -28°C. Wednesday stays frigid with a 60% chance of flurries and a high near -20°C, and Thursday (New Year’s Day) looks sunny with a high near -20°C.
What to Wear for Geraldton and Highway 11
This is “full winter kit” territory. A warm base layer, an insulated mid-layer, and a wind-resistant outer layer will keep the -18 wind chill from sneaking through. Waterproof boots with real traction are a must today, especially with the risk of freezing drizzle later. Add a neck warmer and mitts (mitts win at these temps), and keep a spare pair of gloves in the vehicle—because wet hands in northern Ontario is a fast track to grumpiness.
Geraldton Weather Trivia
Greenstone sits in a zone where weather systems can change fast as they roll across the boreal landscape. Add in Great Lakes influence farther south and you get classic “drive 30 minutes, meet a new sky” northern Ontario forecasting fun.
