Kenora is getting a taste of “messy winter” weather this Monday morning—right on the edge of freezing, with moisture in the air and a falling barometer signalling an active system moving through. It’s cloudy and nearly 0°C at the airport, and the forecast includes light snow mixed with freezing drizzle early, which can turn roads and sidewalks slick in a hurry. The story then flips tonight: temperatures drop sharply and any wet surfaces are likely to refreeze.

Today’s Weather Overview

Current Conditions

At 8:00 AM CST (Kenora Airport), it’s cloudy with a temperature of -0.2°C. Humidity is very high at 94%, and with a WSW wind at 22 km/h (gusting 33 km/h) it feels closer to -6. Pressure is 100.6 kPa and falling, which fits with the unsettled mix of precipitation in the forecast. Visibility remains good at 24 km, but slick surfaces are the bigger concern than visibility this morning.

What to Expect Today

Periods of light snow mixed with freezing drizzle are expected early this morning, easing off near noon. After that, skies stay cloudy, with a 40% chance of flurries lingering through the afternoon. Winds ramp up from the west, reaching 30 km/h with gusts up to 50, which may cause drifting in open areas and will definitely add a bite to the air.

Temperatures don’t climb much—today’s high is near -1°C—but it’s the combination of near-freezing air + freezing drizzle risk + gusty wind that makes this a high-impact day for travel and footing.

Tomorrow’s Forecast

Expected Conditions for the Next Three Days

Tonight (Monday night):
Light snow returns and temperatures fall fast. Winds shift northwest at 20 km/h, gusting to 40. The low drops to -10°C, and wind chills fall to about -17 overnight. Any moisture left on roads, sidewalks, and driveways is likely to freeze hard.

Tuesday, February 10:
Expect periods of snow through the day, ending in the afternoon, followed by cloudy skies and a 40% chance of flurries. The high is around -6°C, with wind chills near -18 in the morning and -13 in the afternoon. Tuesday night turns quieter with cloudy periods and a low near -13°C.

Wednesday, February 11:
A break in the action: sunny with a high near -4°C. Wednesday night is clear with a low around -8°C, which can mean another refreeze and icy patches in the morning.

Wardrobe Recommendations

Today is the kind of day where you dress for cold wind and slippery conditions, not just the thermometer:

• A warm mid-layer under a wind-resistant outer jacket will help with those 50 km/h gusts.

• Waterproof boots with strong traction are a smart choice—freezing drizzle can create a near-invisible glaze of ice.

• If you’re out early or late, plan for the colder turn tonight: mitts, hat, and a neck gaiter will pay off when wind chills slide into the teens below zero.

Weather Trivia

Freezing drizzle is sneaky because it doesn’t always look dramatic. The droplets can fall lightly, but they freeze on contact with cold surfaces—creating a thin, glossy layer that can be more dangerous than a heavier snowfall, especially at intersections, stairs, and parking lots.

Summary

Kenora and Lake of the Woods weather for Monday, February 9, 2026: cloudy near 0°C with light snow mixed with freezing drizzle early, then cloudy with flurries risk. Gusty west winds up to 50 km/h. Light snow continues tonight with a sharp drop to -10°C, then more snow Tuesday.
