Daytime highs will remain below freezing for almost the entire region, but The Pas could reach 0 C.
Over in northwestern Ontario, sky conditions are mixed. Kenora will be cloudy, while Dryden and Fort Frances will see at least some sunshine. High temperatures will be a touch cooler, around 3 C or 4 C, respectively.
Cloudy skies stick around tonight in Winnipeg and across the south. Overnight lows will drop to the freezing mark or just below it.
