Rain and Wind Dominate Sault Ste. Marie’s Monday Forecast
April in Sault Ste. Marie is sticking to tradition—keeping things damp, unpredictable, and decidedly unspring-like. Light rain is falling across the area this morning, with temperatures hovering around +2 to +4°C. As a weak low-pressure system continues to pass through, expect a persistent rain-snow mix throughout the day, especially inland or at slightly higher elevations.
Today’s Forecast: Rain Turning to Wet Snow with Gusty Winds
Rain will dominate much of the day, with 10 to 15 mm of rainfall possible, transitioning into wet snow in the late afternoon or early evening as cooler air sweeps in. Temperatures will hold steady near +3°C, but northwest winds will pick up to 30 km/h gusting to 50, making it feel chillier than the thermometer suggests.
Tonight: Snowflakes Linger, Temperatures Dip
By tonight, lingering rain will turn fully to snow or flurries, with minor accumulations possible—mainly on grassy or elevated surfaces. Temperatures will fall to around –2°C, and wind chills could drop it to –8°C overnight. Roads may become slick, particularly on bridges and overpasses.
Tuesday and Beyond: Cold Start, Slow Warmup
Tuesday stays cloudy with a few flurries in the morning, then slowly brightens through the day. A high of +4°C is expected, but morning wind chills near –10°C will keep it feeling frosty. Tuesday night will be clear and cold, with a low around –6°C.
By Wednesday, Sault Ste. Marie should see some sunshine and slightly milder conditions with highs near +7°C, but clouds return Thursday with another round of mixed precipitation possible.
Wardrobe Wisdom
Don’t let the calendar fool you—today’s outfit should include waterproof layers, windbreakers, and warm accessories. You’ll need an umbrella for the morning and gloves for the evening.
Did You Know?
Sault Ste. Marie’s weather is strongly influenced by Lake Superior and Lake Huron, making it one of Ontario’s most unpredictable spring regions. The lake effect doesn’t just bring snow—it also amplifies moisture and cools down what should be mild air.
