Temperatures across the province will remain below freezing on Thursday, but not by much in the south. Winnipeg and Brandon are forecast to reach -3 C, right around normal daytime highs for this time of year.
There is a chance that a relatively narrow band of snow crossing the southwest this afternoon will reach Winnipeg and areas north, including Gimli, overnight. Even if it does show up, not much is expected.
Friday will be very similar in Winnipeg with sunshine and a forecast high of -4 C, leading into a beautiful weekend in the city.
Looks for a mix of sun and clouds on Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures are expected to rise to 3 C on Saturday before soaring up to 7 C on Sunday—a good 11 degrees above normal for early March.
By the time the weekend is over, you can be sure a lot more snow will have melted away.
