North Bay Weather: Morning And Daytime Conditions
Freezing rain or ice pellets mixed with snow will change to rain this morning, with freezing rain focused over northwestern sections. Rainfall amounts are expected to reach 20 to 30 mm. Wind will become south 20 km/h gusting to 40 this morning then become west 20 gusting to 40. The forecast high for the period is High 7. Expect a wind chill of wind chill minus 6 this morning. The UV index is listed as UV index 1 or low for the day.
Evening, Overnight And Short-Term Outlook
Later, flurries are expected with an accumulation amount 2 cm. Winds will shift from southwest 20 km/h gusting to 40 to northwest 20 gusting to 40 this evening. Overnight temperatures drop sharply to Low minus 20, with a wind chill down to wind chill minus 26 overnight. Subsequent forecasts call for cloudy conditions with repeated chances of flurries at 40 to 60 percent on various periods and alternating highs and lows such as High minus 13 and High minus 5, and nighttime lows including Low minus 5 and Low minus 7.
Wind, Precipitation And Safety Notes
Expect gusty winds near 40 km/h through several periods, with wind directions shifting from south to west and later from southwest to northwest. Cloudy skies will dominate, with several days showing a 40 to 60 percent chance of flurries and intermittent highs near zero or below. Wind chill values as low as wind chill minus 30 in the morning and minus 19 in the afternoon are noted for one period, and there is an explicit risk of frostbite when those wind chills occur. UV index values remain low (UV index 1 or low; UV index 2 or low) during the forecast window.
Plan for wet conditions this morning that may freeze at times in exposed areas before the change to rain, strong gusts through the day, and a sharp overnight drop to very cold temperatures with hazardous wind chill values. Monitor for local updates if travel or outdoor exposure is planned.
