Residents in Morris, Manitoba, should prepare for difficult travel conditions as a winter storm is expected to bring snow and high winds to the area starting at noon on March 12, 2026. The storm is expected to create poor visibility for drivers throughout the afternoon and evening.
According to Environment Canada, about 5 cm of snow will fall during the day, followed by another 2 to 4 cm overnight. Wind gusts are forecast to reach up to 60 km/h, which will cause blowing snow and hazardous conditions on local roads and highways.
While the storm brings immediate concerns for travel, there are currently no active flood alerts for the community. The Province of Manitoba issued an outlook in February stating that there is a low-to-moderate risk for spring flooding in the region for 2026.
Provincial officials say the actual risk of flooding will depend on how much more snow falls during the rest of the winter and how fast the spring melt happens. For now, the primary concern for residents is the immediate impact of the passing winter storm system.
