A Chilly, Mostly Cloudy Start to the Day
Kenora sees mostly cloudy skies with a chance of flurries today before temperatures drop sharply into the weekend. A deep freeze arrives Sunday night—stay bundled up!

Visibility remains excellent at 24 km, but the falling barometric pressure (currently at 100.8 kPa) suggests a shift in the weather pattern ahead.
Thursday: Cloudy with a Chance of Flurries
The day will remain overcast, with a 40% chance of flurries in the early morning. Winds will stay light at up to 15 km/h, keeping things feeling crisp. The temperature rises to a high of -1°C—positively balmy compared to the days ahead! The wind chill will make it feel like -9°C in the morning, improving slightly to -3°C by the afternoon.

Looking Ahead: Sun, Snow, and a Deep Freeze
Friday: A Bright but Bitterly Cold Day
After a week of clouds, the sun finally makes an appearance! However, don’t let the sunshine fool you—it will be a cold day, with a high of just -10°C. Overnight, temperatures drop further to -16°C under partly cloudy skies.
Saturday: Snow Returns
Clouds return Saturday, bringing a 60% chance of flurries and a slightly warmer high of -4°C. By night, expect periods of snow and a low of -6°C, so shoveling duty may be in order.
Sunday: A Temperature Tumble
Sunday stays cloudy with a 60% chance of flurries and a high of -2°C, making it the warmest day of the weekend. But don’t get too comfortable—overnight, temperatures plummet to a frigid -25°C. That’s the kind of cold that reminds you why we love extra blankets and hot drinks!
Dressing for the Weather
Today’s relatively mild conditions mean a warm jacket, gloves, and a toque should suffice. But by Friday, you’ll want to dig out the thermal layers and heavier winter gear to combat the deep freeze. If you’re planning to be out Sunday night, double up on socks—it’s going to be a frosty one!
Kenora Weather Trivia
Did you know that Kenora once hit a record low of -45.0°C on January 5, 1892? While -25°C on Sunday night sounds brutal, at least it’s nowhere near that level of cold!
