Thunder Bay
Good morning, Thunder Bay! Looks like we’re in for a wintery mix of snow and ice pellets today. Don’t worry, you won’t need your blender for this mix, but you might need your ice scraper! In the morning, we’ll have some heavy snow mixed with ice pellets, but by afternoon, it’ll be ice pellets mixed with snow. Oh, and watch out for some potential freezing rain throughout the day. It’s going to be quite windy too, with gusts up to 70 km/h, so hold on to your hats!
Temperatures will remain steady around minus 1, but with the wind chill, it’ll feel like minus 14 in the morning and minus 7 in the afternoon. So, bundle up and stay warm, folks! And don’t forget your sunglasses, or should I say, snow goggles? The UV index will only be 1, so not much sunshine to soak up today.
As for tonight, we can expect periods of ice pellets changing to snow in the evening. There’s a risk of some freezing rain early in the evening, but let’s hope that doesn’t put a damper on any of your plans. We’re looking at 2 to 4 cm of snow and ice pellets, so be prepared for some slippery sidewalks and roads. The wind will calm down a bit, with gusts up to 40 km/h from the west. The low tonight will be minus 7, but with the wind chill, it’ll feel like minus 6 in the evening and a chilly minus 14 overnight. Stay cozy and safe, Thunder Bay!
Environment Canada has issued a winter storm warning for the City of Thunder Bay extending into Wednesday. Snow and ice pellet accumulations of 15 to 25 centimetres are expected and rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult.
Be prepared for winter driving conditions:
- Slow down,
- Give other vehicles lots of room,
- Have patience with other drivers, and
- Pay extra attention for pedestrians and cyclists.
Please be careful when approaching a plow or sander and give them extra room to work. Find more information on the City’s response to Snow and Ice at www.thunderbay.ca/snow
