Light Snow This Morning, Brighter Skies on the Horizon
Current Conditions as of 4:19 AM CDT – Monday, March 24, 2025
Sioux Lookout is waking up to a soft dusting of snow this morning, painting the landscape with a fresh layer of white as we inch our way through this late-March weather rollercoaster. At 4:19 AM, it’s sitting at a chilly -7.2°C, with light snow falling steadily and visibility reduced to 5 km. Humidity is sitting high at 94%, which explains that ever-present damp chill in the air. Winds from the north are light at 8 km/h, giving us a wind chill of -11. The barometric pressure is on the rise at 100.9 kPa — a sign that clearer skies are likely on the way.
Periods of light snow are expected to taper off by this afternoon, leaving behind mainly cloudy skies. The high will climb to -1°C, with light winds up to 15 km/h. Wind chills will linger near -14°C this morning and ease slightly to -5°C in the afternoon. The UV index is low at 2 — not enough for sunglasses, but enough to remind you spring is trying its best to break through.
Tonight’s Forecast: A Clearer, Colder Night Ahead
Tonight, skies become partly cloudy, and temperatures drop sharply to -12°C. Winds will stay light at up to 15 km/h, but with little to stop the chill, it’ll feel more like -15 overnight. Bundle up if you’re heading out for an evening stroll or keeping watch for northern lights.
Tuesday to Thursday: Spring Sunshine Meets Sub-Zero Nights
Tuesday looks promising, with mainly sunny skies and a high of +2°C. Winds remain light, but the morning will feel frigid with a wind chill of -15 before the sun starts working its magic. The UV index ticks up to 3 — still on the lower side but noticeably brighter.
Cloudy periods return Tuesday night with a low of -5°C. Wednesday brings a mix of sun and cloud along with a 40% chance of flurries or rain showers, and temperatures climbing to a mild +4°C. The precipitation risk continues into the night, with another dip to -11°C.
Thursday turns sunny again, though cooler, with a high of -1°C. Cloudy periods overnight bring a 30% chance of flurries and a low of -11°C, rounding out a week of seasonal indecision.
Historical Weather for March 24 in Sioux Lookout
On this date in history, Sioux Lookout has seen it all. The warmest March 24 hit a very springlike +13.9°C in 1986, while the coldest plunged to a bitter -30.0°C back in 1965. So while -7°C this morning might not feel like much of a win, it’s definitely better than the deep freeze of years past.
What to Wear: Winter Gear with a Hint of Optimism
Today still calls for winter essentials — insulated coat, boots, hat, and gloves — especially if you’re out before the snow tapers off. But keep a lighter layer handy for tomorrow’s sunnier turn. Sunglasses might even come into play for the midday stroll!
