Residents in Dauphin, Manitoba, should prepare for slippery roads and sidewalks as temperatures are expected to drop significantly starting Sunday, March 8, 2026. This rapid shift from daytime melting to deep-freeze conditions overnight is expected to turn wet surfaces and puddles into ice.
According to Environment Canada, the community reached a daytime high of 4°C on Sunday, but the temperature is forecast to fall to -13°C overnight. There is also a 60 percent chance of flurries throughout the evening.
The cold weather is expected to stick around as the week begins. On the night of Monday, March 9, 2026, temperatures are forecast to drop even further to a low of -17°C during cloudy periods.
Drivers and pedestrians should use extra caution, especially during the morning commute and school drop-off times. The quick change from above-freezing temperatures to a deep freeze creates a high risk for ice to form on local streets and walkways.
