On Saturday, February 7, 2026, residents in Selkirk, Manitoba, can expect a sudden shift in weather as strong winds and a brief unseasonable thaw move into the region. Environment Canada’s local forecast shows southerly winds gusting up to 60 km/h and a short rise in daytime temperatures over the weekend.
Environment Canada’s forecast for Selkirk shows wind gusts to about 60 km/h today; temperatures are expected to rise to around +1°C on Sunday and near −1°C on Monday (Environment Canada, Selkirk forecast). This milder period could produce rapid daytime snowmelt, increasing the risk of slushy roads and localized pooling of water on some streets.
Drivers should check Manitoba 511 for up-to-date road and highway conditions, since pooled water can refreeze overnight and create hazardous black ice that is difficult to see on roads and sidewalks.
The City of Selkirk’s Public Works department is responsible for maintaining storm sewers and catch basins; residents are encouraged to consult the city website for any municipal notices. If it is safe to do so, homeowners can help by clearing snow and debris away from drains near their properties to reduce the risk of localized flooding.
