As of Friday, March 13, 2026, Environment Canada has lifted all weather alerts for the Winkler and Morden region in Manitoba. This update comes after a period of hazardous winter weather that caused significant travel disruptions throughout the community.

The region previously faced strong winds gusting between 70 and 80 kilometres per hour, which combined with fresh snow to create dangerous blowing snow. These conditions resulted in near-zero visibility for drivers across the R.M. of Stanley and nearby highways.

Official reports now confirm that the weather pattern has stabilized, and no further warnings are currently active for the area. Visibility has improved significantly, making road conditions much safer for residents and commuters throughout the Pembina Valley.

The end of the alerts signals that the most dangerous part of the weather system has moved out of the region. Residents can now expect more predictable weather as they travel for work or errands today.
