Residents in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, should prepare for a change in weather as snow is expected to arrive this weekend. According to Environment Canada, a weather system will move into the area around midday on Saturday, March 14, 2026.

The forecast calls for approximately five centimetres of snow to fall throughout the day. While the temperature is expected to reach a high of 1°C, the snow will be accompanied by strong winds blowing from the east.

Wind speeds are predicted to reach 30 kilometres per hour, with gusts as high as 50 kilometres per hour by Saturday afternoon. These conditions may cause blowing snow and could make it harder for drivers to see clearly on local roads.

As of March 13, 2026, there are no official weather alerts in effect for the region. However, residents are encouraged to stay aware of shifting conditions as the snow and wind move through the community.
