Steinbach residents should prepare for a wet weekend ahead as Environment Canada forecasts a shift in weather conditions for April 11 and 12, 2026.
Saturday will bring a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 11°C, followed by a 40% chance of showers overnight with a low of 4°C. Sunday is expected to see showers during the day with a high of 10°C, and rain continuing into the night as temperatures drop to -1°C. While there are currently no active weather alerts for the area, motorists should remain cautious of changing road conditions and reduced visibility during these rain events.
These incoming showers follow a week of unsettled weather in southern Manitoba, including an Alberta clipper system on April 7 and 8 that brought wet snow and difficult travel conditions to the region. As the area continues through a spring season characterized by temperatures below seasonal norms, residents are encouraged to stay informed about local travel updates.
The City of Steinbach continues to enforce spring road weight restrictions, which went into effect on March 25. These restrictions are put in place to protect road surfaces during the spring thaw and are expected to remain in effect until near the May long weekend, though this date is subject to change based on weather conditions. Drivers can check for the latest road information through provincial services like Manitoba 511.
