Residents in Morris, Manitoba are facing a chilly start to the week as a late-season cold snap brings flurries and temperatures well below seasonal norms. According to Environment Canada, local temperatures will remain unseasonably cold through mid-week before a gradual warm-up begins as the weekend approaches.
As of the early hours of May 5, 2026, temperatures hovered near the freezing mark, with wind chills making it feel closer to -6°C. The forecast indicates that flurries are expected to continue with a 30 percent chance tonight, while strong northwest winds gusting between 30 and 50 km/h will drive overnight wind chills down to -10°C.
Current temperatures are well below the typical seasonal average for this time of year. While conditions are expected to improve, with daily highs climbing from 5°C on Tuesday to a projected 15°C by this coming weekend, the weather will likely remain cooler than usual for the remainder of May. This trend is part of a broader atmospheric pattern affecting much of eastern Canada.
Despite the wintry conditions, residents can expect a relatively quiet spring in terms of water levels. While the Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre currently lists the Red River at a moderate flood risk, Town of Morris Mayor Scott Crick has noted that minimal flooding impacts are anticipated for the local area this season.
