Residents in Selkirk, Manitoba, are being warned of a significant risk of frostbite on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, as wind chill values are expected to drop to -28°C in the morning. The day is expected to start with sunshine, but weather conditions will shift as the day progresses.

According to Environment Canada, the wind is expected to shift to the south at 20 km/h this morning. Cloud cover will increase around noon, followed by a 30 per cent chance of light snow during the afternoon and evening hours.

While the temperature is forecast to reach a high of -6°C, the wind chill will make it feel like -13°C during the afternoon. People spending time outdoors should dress in warm layers and limit skin exposure to stay safe from the cold.

Drivers and pedestrians should also be prepared for potentially reduced visibility if the light snow develops later in the day. The risk of frostbite remains the primary concern for those out early in the morning.
