Cloudy Skies and Showers Ahead in Sault Ste. Marie
Good morning, Sault Ste. Marie! Let’s take a look at what today’s weather is shaping up to be. Stepping outside early this morning, the air felt damp, with temperatures hovering around 6 degrees and a southwest breeze moving through at about 14 kilometers an hour. The sky has been mostly cloudy, and with humidity sitting at 96 percent, that cool air is carrying plenty of moisture. Visibility has remained good at over 16 kilometers, but there’s no mistaking that unsettled feel in the atmosphere.
As we move through the morning, a few lingering showers are expected to taper off, but the clouds won’t be going anywhere soon. The forecast calls for a high of 14 degrees later in the day, though that warmth will be balanced out by a west wind at 30 kilometers an hour, gusting at times up to 50. That breeze will give the afternoon a crisp and slightly restless feel. The UV index is sitting at a moderate level of 4, so there’s no strong sun to worry about, but it’s not completely absent either.
Also Read:By tonight, the chance of showers creeps back up again, with about a 40 percent likelihood of rain returning. Showers are expected to move in more steadily before morning, with winds from the southwest at 20 kilometers an hour gusting to 40. Those winds will ease later in the evening, and temperatures are expected to settle at a low of 8 degrees overnight.
Looking ahead to Friday, the day will be defined by periods of showers, and the possibility of a thunderstorm is in play for late morning and early afternoon. Rainfall amounts could total between 10 and 15 millimeters locally. Winds will shift and strengthen out of the northwest, reaching 40 kilometers an hour with gusts up to 70 near noon, which will make conditions feel even cooler despite a high of 13 degrees. The UV index drops to a low 2, meaning it will be a dim, unsettled day overall.
The weekend forecast suggests more of the same, with Saturday staying cloudy and offering a 40 percent chance of showers and a high near 13. Saturday night dips to 7 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. Sunday may bring a mix of sun and cloud, but scattered showers are still possible.
By Monday, a bit of a break is in sight as temperatures rise toward 19 degrees under cloudy skies, and that trend is expected to hold through midweek. While these days won’t be bright and sunny, the warmer air will be noticeable compared to the cool and damp stretch we’re starting off with.
So, in short, today is cloudy with some showers fading early on, breezy conditions through the afternoon, and another round of rain coming back tonight. Keep an umbrella handy and be ready for cooler, windier weather over the next couple of days before a gradual warm-up arrives next week.
