Thompson Under Special Weather Statement: 10–25 cm of Snow Expected This Weekend - AI Generated Image
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Thompson and several northern Manitoba communities, warning of 10 to 25 centimetres of snowfall expected from Friday morning through Saturday (November 14 and 15, 2025). The developing system may also bring a risk of freezing rain, prompting meteorologists to monitor conditions closely for possible snowfall warnings.
The upcoming winter system is expected to track across northern Manitoba, bringing its heaviest snowfall to regions stretching from Brochet and Tadoule Lake toward Churchill. Thompson, Lynn Lake, Nelson House, Split Lake, Gillam, and surrounding areas are also expected to see significant accumulations.
While freezing rain amounts are forecast to remain low, the combination of snow and ice may still create hazardous travel conditions throughout the region. Residents should be prepared for reduced visibility, slippery roads, and the potential for travel delays on highways in and out of Thompson.
Environment Canada notes that the placement of the storm’s heaviest snowfall could shift as the system approaches. Additional updates or snowfall warnings may be issued as confidence increases.
Northern Manitoba has seen similar systems bring widespread impacts in past years, including power outages, downed trees, and difficult driving conditions. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and adjust travel if conditions worsen.
