Friday: A Cold, Calm Morning with Increasing Clouds
Wawa starts off at -23°C with increasing clouds, gusty winds, and flurries ahead. Snow squalls possible Saturday, with a milder Sunday
Wawa is kicking off the weekend with a bone-chilling -23°C as of 7:00 AM at the Wawa Airport. Skies are partly cloudy, and with humidity at 81%, it feels crisp but calm—literally, as there’s no wind to add to the chill factor just yet. The barometric pressure is at 103.3 kPa and rising, signaling a brief period of stability before weather changes move in.
As the morning progresses, sunshine will give way to increasing cloudiness, with a 40% chance of flurries arriving late this afternoon. The wind will pick up from the southwest, reaching 20 km/h and gusting to 40 km/h by early afternoon. The high will climb to -5°C, though the wind chill will make it feel like -24°C in the morning and -12°C in the afternoon. If you’re heading out, dress in warm layers—it’s cold, but at least the UV index remains low at 2, so you won’t have to squint through too much glare off the snow.
Tonight: Windy with Snowy Conditions Moving In
Clouds will stick around tonight, with a 40% chance of flurries this evening before flurries fully set in late at night. The wind will shift to the south and pick up significantly, reaching 30 km/h and gusting to 50 km/h, making it feel colder than the actual temperature. The overnight low will be -9°C, but with the wind chill, it will feel closer to -16°C. If you’re out and about, brace for gusty, snow-filled air!
Saturday: Snow Squalls Possible!
Saturday brings a messy mix of flurries and the potential for snow squalls, with total accumulations between 2 and 4 cm. The wind will come from the west at 20 km/h, gusting to 40 km/h, adding to the wintry feel. The high will rise to -2°C, but with wind chills making it feel like -17°C in the morning and -8°C in the afternoon, it’s still a day for winter gear.
Saturday night will remain cloudy, with a 40% chance of lingering flurries and a colder low of -12°C.
Sunday: A Brief Warm-Up Before More Snow
Sunday will stay cloudy with a 30% chance of flurries, but temperatures will inch a little closer to freezing, with a high of -1°C. It won’t feel exactly warm, but compared to recent mornings, it’s a small victory.
Sunday night, however, brings another round of snow, with periods of snowfall expected and a low of -4°C. If you have travel plans for Monday, be prepared for potentially snowy road conditions.
Wardrobe Suggestions: Layer Up for Wind and Snow!
With wind chills hovering around -24°C this morning and snow squalls possible on Saturday, heavy winter coats, gloves, and insulated boots are a must. A scarf or balaclava will help protect your face from gusty winds, especially tonight and into Saturday. By Sunday, with temperatures approaching -1°C, you might find yourself loosening a few layers—just in time for another round of snow.
Weather Trivia: Wawa’s Wildest Snowfall!
Did you know? Wawa once recorded a mind-blowing 163 cm (that’s over 5 feet!) of snow in just 5 days back in February 1982. Now that’s a winter storm to remember!
