Residents in Neepawa, Manitoba, can expect a mix of snow and freezing rain on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, as a winter weather system moves through the region. The day started with cloudy skies and snow that is expected to leave behind a total of 5 to 10 centimetres by the time it stops.
According to Environment Canada, people should also watch for blowing snow in the morning and early afternoon. This could make it more difficult for drivers to see clearly on local roads and highways throughout the day.
The forecast shows a risk of freezing rain starting in the afternoon, which may create slippery conditions. Despite the messy weather, there were no official weather alerts in effect for the area as of 9:30 AM on Tuesday morning.
The federal weather agency typically issues a formal freezing rain warning when ice is expected to cause a hazard to travel or property. Residents are encouraged to monitor local conditions as the weather can change quickly during late-winter storms.
