Lake Manitoba

Issued 3:49 PM CDT 15 April 2026 A late season winter storm is poised to impact southern Manitoba beginning overnight Wednesday night through Thursday.

Although many locations through southern Manitoba experienced pleasant spring weather on Wednesday with highs in the mid to upper teens, beginning overnight, the weather will see a stark shift with a wintery mix impulse passing through.

The highest concern with this system is the freezing rain risk along and south of the Transcanada highway corridor through southwestern Manitoba, and through the Red River Valley. There is some uncertainty with this system as to whether or not this freezing rain will be patchy in nature or if it will be a more organized area of freezing rain.

Western and central Manitoba will likely see primarily snow, with accumulations of generally 4 to 8 cm.

This statement may be expanded or upgraded to warnings as this system develops.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to MBstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on X using #MBStorm.
