Residents of Selkirk, Manitoba, should prepare for snow and blowing snow starting midday on March 12, 2026, which is expected to make roads slippery and reduce visibility. This weather shift is predicted to impact travel conditions throughout the afternoon and into the night.
According to Environment Canada, the area will see between 2 and 4 centimetres of snow as the sky turns cloudy this afternoon. Strong north winds are also expected to pick up, reaching speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour.
The combination of fresh snow and high winds will likely create hazardous conditions for the Thursday evening commute. Drivers are encouraged by Manitoba Public Insurance to allow for extra travel time and to be careful on snow-covered streets.
While there are currently no official weather alerts for the region, the blowing snow can cause sudden changes in how far you can see while driving. Officials suggest staying informed on changing conditions as the snow develops midday.
Temperatures are set to drop significantly tonight to a low of -14°C, with wind chill values reaching -24°C overnight. Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure reminds people to check local road conditions before starting any trips tonight.
