Brockville, Ontario, is expecting a shift in weather tonight as freezing drizzle could make roads and sidewalks slippery for the Friday morning commute. This weather change follows a day of clear skies on Thursday, March 5, 2026.

According to Environment Canada, the risk of freezing drizzle starts late Thursday night and will continue into the early hours of Friday. The temperature is expected to drop to minus 6 Celsius overnight before warming up to a high of plus 5 Celsius by Friday afternoon.

This quick change in temperature can cause black ice to form on local streets and sidewalks. Residents are encouraged to be careful during early travel on Friday, March 6, 2026, as these icy patches can be hard to see and create a high risk of slipping.

Overcast skies on Friday morning are expected to continue as the day gets warmer. Drivers and pedestrians should check local road conditions before heading out to ensure a safe trip.
