Residents of The Pas, Manitoba, should get ready for much warmer temperatures this weekend as a cold spell breaks, though snow on Sunday could make roads slippery. The weather is expected to shift significantly starting Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, bringing a break from the deep freeze that hit the region earlier in the week.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), daytime highs are forecast to rise from about -17°C on Friday to around -4°C on Sunday and about -8°C on Monday, with highs reaching near -3°C later next week (around Thursday, Feb. 12). That shift is roughly 9–10°C warmer than the typical early‑February daytime high for The Pas (around -12°C), according to Canadian climate normals.
While the warmer air might be a welcome change, Environment Canada is forecasting snow on Sunday, Feb. 8; Saturday night carries about a 30% chance of flurries. Meteorologists warn the combination of warming pavement and new snow can make road surfaces deceptively slick.
Drivers should be extra careful on the roads, especially on Highway 10, as snow hitting warmer pavement can create greasy driving conditions. Travelers are encouraged to check Manitoba 511 for up‑to‑the‑minute road conditions before heading toward Flin Flon or Thompson. Local public works teams may also need to adjust sanding and salting schedules, since road salt is less effective as temperatures approach the freezing point.
