Kenora – Weather – Kenora and the Lake of the Woods region is starting Monday with light snow and a brisk west-northwest wind. The key change today is a temperature drop through the afternoon—an “abnormal temperature trend” noted in the forecast—meaning it will feel colder as the day goes on rather than warming up.

Weather Trivia
A daytime temperature that falls is a classic sign a colder air mass is arriving behind a front. It’s one reason road conditions can change quickly: melting slows down, and damp surfaces can refreeze earlier than people expect.
