Residents of Stonewall can expect one final day of clear skies this Wednesday, May 13, 2026, before an unsettled weather pattern brings rain and cooler temperatures to the region for the remainder of the week. According to Environment Canada, today will remain sunny with a high of 19 C, offering a brief window for outdoor plans.
Conditions will become more unsettled on Thursday, which carries a 60 percent chance of showers late in the morning and in the afternoon with a risk of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. Residents should prepare for windy conditions in the morning, with gusts expected to reach between 50 and 70 kilometres per hour. While there are currently no weather alerts in effect for the Town of Stonewall, wet conditions are expected to persist through the weekend.
Temperatures will gradually decline as the rain continues, dropping from a high of 16 C on Friday to 10 C by Monday, May 18, 2026. This incoming moisture arrives as farmers across the province are working to navigate significant planting delays. Manitoba Agriculture reported that only two percent of seeding is complete so far this season, a figure notably lower than the eight percent recorded at this time last year.
These delays are linked to a difficult start to the season, characterized by cool temperatures and saturated ground. The Interlake region, which includes Stonewall, experienced a particularly heavy winter with snowpack water content in some areas reaching double the long-term average, leading to heightened concerns regarding spring flood risks.
