Clear Start, Gusty Middle, and a Cool Finish
THUNDER BAY – A crisp, pleasant and bright Monday greets the city with classic early-November energy.
At 7:00 AM EST, Thunder Bay Airport reports mainly clear skies and 5.3°C. The barometric pressure is 100.6 kPa and rising, signalling fair weather building in. Humidity sits at 70%, the dew point is 0.3°C, and a west-southwest breeze at 15 km/h with gusts to 27 km/h gives the air a lively feel.
Visibility is a sparkling 32 km, perfect for those long Lakehead views.
As the morning progresses, expect skies to clear further while the wind becomes the main character: westerly 40 km/h, gusting to 60 through the day. Even with the pushy breeze, temperatures rise to a comfortable high near 10°C under a low UV index of 1.
Tonight – Clear, Breezy Early, Then Calmer Cold
Under clear skies, the wind shifts northwest 30 km/h gusting to 50 through the evening, becoming light late. The temperature slides to –1°C by dawn. With the calm late-night setup, expect frost on windshields and rooftops.
Tuesday – Sun–Cloud Mix, Small Shower Risk at Night
Tuesday offers a pleasant mix of sun and cloud with a high of 9°C and a slightly higher UV index of 2 (low). By night, look for cloudy periods with a 30% chance of showers and a low of +3°C—nothing widespread, but keep a light rain jacket near.
Wednesday – Bright and Cool, Frosty Night
Sunny skies dominate Wednesday with a high near 8°C and lighter winds—ideal for a midday walk. Wednesday night brings cloudy periods and a crisp low near –4°C, so watch for slick patches early Thursday.
Thursday – Clouds Build Again
Cloud cover increases through Thursday with a high around 8°C. By night, we return to cloudy skies with a 40% chance of flurries or rain showers, and a low near +1°C—textbook November mood swings.
Friday – A Wintry Tease
Friday stays cloudy with a 40% chance of flurries or rain showers and a cooler high near +3°C. Friday night remains cloudy, dipping to –5°C, and setting the stage for a chilly weekend start.
What to Wear
Lean into layers: a warm base, an insulating mid-layer, and a wind-resistant shell to tame today’s gusts. Gloves and a toque make morning errands nicer, and sturdy footwear helps with leaf-slick sidewalks and frosty evenings. Keep a light rain layer handy for Tuesday night and Thursday night.
Lakehead Weather Trivia
Lake Superior’s vast waters act like a seasonal thermostat. In early November, a sunny, windy afternoon can be followed by a sharp radiational cool-down after sunset—why it can feel like fall at 3 p.m. and full-on frost by dawn.
