KENORA – WEATHER – Kenora and the Lake of the Woods region is starting Tuesday under light snow and a brisk northwest wind, keeping the day firmly in “real winter” territory. The good news is that this pattern begins to ease midweek, and by Thursday and Friday the region is flirting with 0°C to +1°C, a noticeable shift after the colder stretch.

Today’s Weather Overview

Current Conditions

At 4:00 AM CST, Kenora Airport reported light snow with the temperature at -8.8°C. A WNW wind at 21 km/h (gusting to 32 km/h) is driving the wind chill down to -17. Visibility is 19 km, humidity is 82%, and pressure is 101.4 kPa and rising—often a hint that conditions will stabilize after today’s snow.

What to Expect Today

Light snow continues through the day, and the temperature is expected to stay steady near -9°C rather than climbing much. Winds remain a factor, with northwest 20 km/h gusting to 40, so even though it’s not extreme-cold by Kenora standards, it will feel sharp and unsettled at times. Wind chill holds near -17, meaning exposed skin can get uncomfortable quickly during longer outdoor stretches.

Wardrobe Recommendations

Today’s mix of snow and wind calls for wind-blocking layers:

• Insulated coat with a wind-resistant shell, plus a warm mid-layer

• Mitts, a warm hat, and a neck gaiter help a lot with wind chill near -17

• Winter boots with good traction—fresh snow can hide slick patches on packed surfaces
  As we warm later this week, watch for slush by day and refreeze at night, especially Thursday into Friday morning.

Weather Trivia

A day where the temperature stays “steady” (like today near -9°C) often happens when cold air and cloud/snow hold the atmosphere in balance—snow limits daytime warming, and wind keeps the air mixed so it doesn’t warm up much, even after sunrise.
