Foggy Start for Kenora with Thunderstorms Looming
Kenora is waking up to dense fog this morning, with visibility dropping to 0.8 km. A Fog Advisory is in effect, warning of near-zero visibility, especially in low-lying areas. The fog will gradually lift later this morning, but be cautious if you’re driving, as sudden drops in visibility are possible.
Currently, it’s 17°C with 100% humidity, meaning the air feels quite muggy. The dew point also sits at 17°C, matching the temperature, which is why the fog is so dense.
Today’s Forecast: Storms and Warm Temperatures
After the fog clears, the day will remain mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of showers and a risk of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Winds will pick up, shifting from the southeast at 20 km/h this morning to southwest 30 km/h, gusting up to 50 km/h by late afternoon.
The temperature will rise to 26°C, but it will feel much warmer—around 34°C—due to the high humidity. The UV index is moderate at 3, so there’s still a need for sun protection despite the clouds.
Tonight and Tomorrow: Stormy Skies Persist
Tonight will bring more cloud cover and a 60% chance of showers, along with the risk of thunderstorms. Fog patches will develop again late in the evening, and the wind will gust up to 50 km/h, shifting from the southwest to southeast. The low will be a mild 19°C.
Thursday’s forecast looks stormy as well, with a 60% chance of showers and another risk of thunderstorms. Winds will pick up significantly, gusting up to 60 km/h in the afternoon. The high will be 21°C, but it will feel like 27°C with the humidex.
Rain showers continue into Friday, with similar cloudy and wet conditions.
Wardrobe Tip: A rain jacket and umbrella are must-haves today and tomorrow, and dressing in light, breathable fabrics will help with the muggy conditions.
Fun Weather Fact: Humidity levels like today’s 100% often create dense fog, as the air is fully saturated, leading to water droplets forming and reducing visibility.
