THUNDER BAY – WEATHER –
Thunder Bay
hunder Bay, are you ready for some weather that’s as unpredictable as the Leafs in the playoffs? Today’s forecast calls for some sun, but don’t get too excited yet. It’s going to become a mix of sun and cloud later in the afternoon, so make sure to bring a jacket with you. We’re looking at a high of plus 3, but with wind up to 15 km/h and a wind chill of minus 10 in the morning, it might feel more like you’re ice fishing than walking to work. Don’t forget the sunscreen though, because the UV index is 6 or high!
Tonight, we’re in for some drama. It’ll start off partly cloudy, but then suddenly become cloudy near midnight followed by snow. It’s like watching a weather version of the movie Inception. The wind will also pick up, becoming east at 30 km/h with gusts up to 50 km/h after midnight. That’s stronger than my coffee in the morning! The low will be minus 2, but with the wind chill, it’ll feel more like minus 9 overnight. Better wrap yourself up like a burrito before you head out!
Fort Frances
Hello Fort Frances, are you ready for a day that’s as indecisive as a kid in a candy store? Today’s forecast calls for mainly cloudy skies with a 40 percent chance of snow, which will then change to a 40 percent chance of rain or snow near noon. It’s like the weather can’t make up its mind! To add to the confusion, we’ll have winds coming in from the east at 30 km/h, gusting up to 50 km/h. So hold on to your hats (and your candy), because it’s going to be a wild ride. The high will be plus 4, but with the wind chill of minus 12 in the morning, you might want to consider staying in bed until the afternoon. The UV index is 5 or moderate, so don’t forget your shades!
As we move into the night, the weather will continue to be undecided. It’ll be cloudy, with a 40 percent chance of rain or snow changing to a 60 percent chance of snow after midnight. It’s like the weather is playing a game of “let’s make it even harder for people to plan their outfits.” The wind will also pick up, coming from the east at 30 km/h, gusting up to 70 km/h. It’s like the weather has had too much caffeine! The low will be minus 1, so don’t forget to tuck yourself in nice and tight before you go to sleep.
