Warm, Smoky Skies and Scattered Showers Expected in Sault Ste. Marie

Good morning, Sault Ste. Marie! Hope you're ready to take on the day because the weather’s giving us a little bit of everything right now. So, let’s break it down.

As of early this morning, the skies are mostly cloudy with the temperature sitting at around 16.8°C. There’s a light breeze coming from the east at about 9 km/h, and the air is pretty thick—humidity levels are up there at 94%. Visibility is decent though, stretching just under 13 kilometers. But what’s really getting everyone’s attention today is that Special Air Quality Statement . Yep, local smoke is in the air, and it’s expected to linger.

Now, as we move through the day, things are going to warm up nicely. We’re looking at a high of 27°C by mid-afternoon. But with the humidex factored in, it’s going to feel more like 32°C. So, if you’re heading out, expect it to be a little muggy. And don’t forget your sunscreen—the UV index is sitting at a solid 7, which is considered high.

While we’ll see a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, there’s a 30 percent chance of showers this afternoon, and yes, even the risk of a thunderstorm. That means it could go from sunny to stormy pretty quickly. Definitely one of those "bring-an-umbrella-just-in-case" kind of days.

Tonight, things will start to cool off, dropping down to about 16°C. Still, early this evening there’s a continued chance of showers, and the risk of thunderstorms isn’t quite done yet. After that, skies are expected to clear up a bit overnight.

Looking ahead to Wednesday, we’ve got a similar pattern on the way. It’ll start out sunny, but then become a mix of sun and cloud later in the day—again with a 30 percent chance of showers in the afternoon. Smoke in the air remains a concern, and a bit of a breeze from the southeast at 20 km/h will be felt before tapering off. The high? A warm 28°C, with a humidex of 34. It’s going to feel hot.

So, whether you’re heading out to work, the waterfront, or just running errands, today and tomorrow will bring that classic unpredictable Northern Ontario summer vibe—sunshine, heat, smoke, and the occasional rumble of thunder. Keep an eye on the sky and check back for weather updates if you're planning anything outdoors.

And that’s your quick weather scoop from SooToday—stay safe out there!
