Environment Canada says the only region not under a warning is Churchill, while the rest of the province faces dangerously low wind chills once again.

In northern Manitoba, wind chills are expected to remain near –50 throughout the day, with only brief, modest improvements during the afternoon before plunging again overnight.
In the south, including Winnipeg, a high-impact warning continues as a cold and windy air mass brings wind chill values of –40 to –45, particularly during the early morning and overnight periods.
While temperatures may improve slightly during the day, Environment Canada warns that extreme cold puts everyone at risk, with frostbite possible within minutes on exposed skin.
The agency advises Manitobans to dress in layers, wear wind-resistant outerwear, and cover exposed skin. It also recommends keeping emergency supplies in vehicles, such as extra blankets and jumper cables. Outdoor workers are urged to take regular breaks to warm up.
In Winnipeg, Saturday’s forecast calls for mainly sunny skies and a high near –25. Wind chills this morning sit around –39, improving slightly to –33 by afternoon. Tonight, temperatures are expected to drop to –37, with overnight wind chills near –49.
Sunday’s forecast offers little reprieve, with wind chills again hitting –49 in the morning and only improving to –37 by afternoon. Daytime highs will remain near –25, though some relief is expected to start early next week as temperatures gradually rise.
Environment Canada encourages residents to monitor alerts and forecasts and report severe weather when possible.
