Light Snow Lingers While Wind Chills Keep Things Frosty
Light snow and chilly winds continue in Sault Ste. Marie, with sun on the way midweek. Expect flurries, cool temps, and a chance of spring teasing by Thursday
SAULT STE. MARIE – Weather Report – March 25, 2025: Winter still has a firm grip on the Soo this Tuesday morning. At 6:00 AM, it’s a frosty -2.0°C at the Sault Ste. Marie Airport, with light snow gently falling.
The air is saturated with 100% humidity—basically, the sky is sweating snow—and visibility is reduced to 1.6 km, so drive with a little extra caution out there.
The wind is blowing from the northwest at 14 km/h, making it feel closer to -7°C, and barometric pressure is at 100.9 kPa and rising.
Through the day, expect periods of light snow to continue, dropping around 2 cm of the fluffy stuff. Northwest winds will pick up to 30 km/h, keeping the temperature steady near -2°C, but with the wind chill biting closer to -10°C.
The UV index is sitting low at 1, so no need to reach for the sunscreen—unless you’re planning to reflect the snow glare like a movie star.
Tonight and Wednesday: Clearing Skies and Crisp Sunshine
Tonight, snow flurries will taper off near midnight, making way for clearer skies. The wind will hold steady at 30 km/h from the northwest before calming late in the evening. Temperatures will drop to -10°C, with wind chills around -13°C—definitely a multi-blanket kind of night.
Wednesday offers a welcome change, with mainly sunny skies and light winds up to 15 km/h. The high will inch up to +2°C, though the morning wind chill will start things off at a brisk -13°C. The UV index climbs to a moderate 4, so sunnies are back on the accessories list. Wednesday night brings cloudy periods and a 30 percent chance of flurries, with a low of -7°C.
Looking Ahead: A Tease of Spring… and More Flurries
Thursday throws a little spring flavour into the mix, serving up a mix of sun and cloud and a 60 percent chance of either rain showers or flurries. The high could hit a balmy 7°C, which might tempt you into lighter layers—just be ready for surprise precipitation. Thursday night cools back down to -7°C under cloudy skies.
By Friday, it’s back to overcast conditions with a 40 percent chance of flurries and a high of 0°C. Friday night could bring more snow with a 60 percent chance and another dip to -7°C. March: the month that just can’t make up its mind.
What to Wear in the Soo This Week
It’s still winter coat weather in Sault Ste. Marie. You’ll want to bundle up today in something windproof, with gloves and a hat to handle those chills. Waterproof boots will keep your feet warm and dry as you trek through light snow. Sunglasses come into play for Wednesday and Thursday when the sun reappears.
Historical Weather Moment:
Sault Ste. Marie has seen the full weather rollercoaster on this date. The record high was a surprisingly warm 15.6°C in 1945, while the coldest plunge hit -23.9°C in 1965. So today’s -2°C? Somewhere right in the middle of “bearable” and “better with hot chocolate.”
Weather Trivia – Soo Style:
Did you know Sault Ste. Marie is one of the snowiest cities in Ontario, often clocking in around 350 cm of snowfall annually? That’s enough snow to build a 10-foot tall snowman army down Bay Street. You’ve been warned.
