The Pas, Manitoba will see a soggy middle of the week before skies clear and temperatures warm up just in time for the weekend. Environment Canada reports a risk of thunderstorms this evening (August 5, 2026), with a chance of showers tonight and more widespread showers arriving on August 6.

As of late Wednesday afternoon, The Pas Airport recorded a temperature of 17.6°C with humidity at 89 per cent and west winds at 17 km/h. No weather alerts are currently in place for the area. The normal high for this time of year is 23°C, making the current conditions a touch cooler than usual.

The Environment Canada forecast shows showers arriving Thursday morning, with 5 to 10 millimetres of rain expected. Winds will pick up from the northwest at 30 km/h, gusting to 50 km/h in the afternoon, and the high will only reach 16°C. The risk of a thunderstorm adds an extra element to watch for as the system passes through.

Once this system moves out, the weekend is shaping up to be a pleasant one. Sunny skies are expected Friday and Saturday, with highs of 20°C each day, climbing to 22°C on Sunday. That will give residents a welcome break from the damp weather and a good chance to enjoy outdoor plans.

Historically, August is one of the wetter months in The Pas, averaging about 66.5 millimetres of rain over roughly 12 days. This week’s forecast lines up with that pattern, but the quick turnaround to sunshine means the community can look forward to a bright end to the week.
