Residents in The Pas can expect a mix of cloudy skies and mild temperatures this Saturday, April 11, 2026, though some lingering winter conditions persist throughout the morning.
According to Environment Canada, the day began with light snow and gusty winds near the airport, creating a wind chill factor that felt closer to -6°C. While there is a risk of freezing rain early today, there are currently no active weather alerts or warnings for the community. The temperature is expected to climb to a high of 5°C throughout the afternoon before dropping to a low of -2°C overnight.
The variable spring weather is set to continue into next week. The forecast indicates a 60 per cent chance of flurries or rain showers on Sunday, followed by a mix of sun and cloud on Monday and Tuesday. However, winter conditions are expected to return on Wednesday, with snow in the forecast and a high of only -8°C.
As the region moves through the spring melt, provincial officials are monitoring conditions closely. The Manitoba Hydrologic Forecast Centre reports that temperatures are expected to stay near freezing through mid-April. This delay in melting could lead to a rapid runoff period once temperatures consistently rise. Additionally, Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure has implemented weight restrictions on secondary roads to protect roadbeds during this freeze-thaw cycle.
