Residents in Steinbach, Manitoba, should prepare for slippery travel conditions on March 20, 2026, as the region transitions to milder spring temperatures. The shift away from winter weather is expected to bring a mix of freezing drizzle and rain showers over the next two days.
According to Environment Canada, the daytime high is forecast to reach 5°C today and 3°C on Saturday, March 21, 2026. While the warming trend is a sign of spring, there is a risk of freezing drizzle this morning that could create thin layers of ice on local streets.
There is also a 60 per cent chance of rain showers starting tonight and lasting throughout the day on Saturday. These wet conditions, combined with ground that is still frozen, often lead to slick road surfaces that can be deceptive for drivers.
Motorists are encouraged to check for updates on road conditions through Manitoba 511 before traveling. The City of Steinbach also monitors street maintenance during this time of year as the spring thaw begins to impact local infrastructure.
