Thunder Bay – Weather – When you look outside this morning, you might almost think it is November instead of April. There remain weather warnings and advisories for much of the region as of 7:30 am EDT.
Thunder Bay
Today, we’ve got some serious precipitation in store for you. We’re talking periods of snow, mixed with ice pellets and even some freezing drizzle. So make sure to bundle up and watch your step out there! We’re only looking at about 2 cm of snow and ice pellets, but that should still make for some slippery sidewalks. Winds will be coming from the east at a brisk 20 km/h, gusting up to 40, before calming down later in the morning. By noon, we’re expecting winds from the south at 20 km/h, gusting up to 40. And despite all this winter weather, we’ll see a high of plus 3 today. Don’t forget your sunglasses, even though we’re only looking at a UV index of 1, or low.
A Winter Weather travel advisory has ended as of 8:00 am EDT.
Snow mixed with ice pellets could make surfaces slippery during the morning commute hours. Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.
Tonight, we’ll see a bit of a break in the snow, but it’ll still be pretty cloudy. There’s a 40 percent chance of flurries, so keep that toque handy! Winds will be pretty mild, up to 15 km/h, and we’ll see a low of minus 3. But with the wind chill, it’ll feel more like minus 6 overnight. Brrr!
Stay warm and stay safe out there, Thunder Bay!
