Northern Ontario: Winter Weather Hazards Outlook for Saturday, January 15, 2022

Forecast Discussion

One more night of extremely cold temperatures is ahead for parts of Northern Ontario continuing into Saturday morning. The coldest temperatures will be found throughout Northeastern Ontario including Kapuskasing, Chapleau and Timmins. We expect temperatures as you wake up early Saturday morning to range from -35°C to -40°C in this area with the wind chill making it feel close to or below -40°C. Those closer to Lake Superior and Georgian Bay will be slightly warmer with the minimum temperature between -30°C and -35°C. The rest of Northern Ontario should see temperatures in the -20s but won’t be cold enough to warrant us including it on the map. Temperatures will quickly warm up tomorrow during the day as the cold Arctic air pushes out to the east.

Please be sure to dress accordingly if you’re planning on being outside for an extended period of time. Frostbite and other cold-related dangers can become life-threatening in a matter of minutes with temperatures this cold! And please don’t forget about your furry friends. If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them! Bring them inside or find a way to keep them warm. Stay safe and warm!
