Residents in Gimli, Manitoba, will see weather conditions change quickly on Thursday, March 12, 2026, as Environment Canada forecasts light snow and local blowing snow starting near noon. These changes will make the afternoon drive home more difficult as the mix of sun and clouds from earlier in the day is replaced by winter weather.
Wind speeds are expected to pick up throughout the day, with gusts reaching 50 km/h this morning and up to 60 km/h overnight. These strong winds will blow snow around, making it harder to see and creating risky driving conditions on open roads where snow can pile up in drifts.
Temperatures will also drop sharply tonight. The low is expected to hit -10°C, and the wind chill will make it feel like -23°C by early Friday morning.
