Residents of Gimli should prepare for a return to winter conditions as Environment Canada has issued a forecast predicting snow and frigid temperatures starting Monday, March 30, 2026.
The updated outlook for the region indicates snow will begin in the morning with an expected accumulation of 2 to 4 centimetres. Daytime temperatures are forecast to reach a high of minus 2 degrees, with wind chills near minus 14. Winds from the northeast are expected to strengthen around noon, reaching 30 kilometres per hour with gusts up to 50 kilometres per hour. Monday night will see light snow with a low of minus 8. The colder trend continues into Tuesday night, with clear skies and temperatures dropping to minus 19 degrees.
This shift reflects the ongoing spring season in Manitoba, which The Weather Network has characterized as a slow transition with periodic returns to winter weather. Further snowfall is expected across the province, with some areas near the border with Saskatchewan seeing even higher amounts. As the area moves into the spring thaw, Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure continues to monitor regional conditions, including potential flood risks in the Fisher River basin which remains a concern due to ongoing snowmelt and weather patterns.
Local commuters and those with outdoor plans are encouraged to adjust their routines for the changing weather. Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure reminds residents that they maintain the provincial highway system to support travel throughout the season. Travelers should keep an eye on local conditions before heading out, as wind and snow can quickly impact road safety.
