A late-winter snowstorm is expected to bring up to 15 centimetres of snow and strong winds to Guelph, Ontario, on March 13, 2026. Environment Canada issued a weather alert Friday morning, noting that the storm will continue through the night and into the following morning.
Total snowfall is predicted to be between 10 and 15 centimetres by the time the system moves out of the province. Wind gusts between 50 and 70 kilometres per hour are expected, which will likely blow snow across the area and make it difficult for drivers to see clearly.
Local residents are being told to watch out for slippery roads and sidewalks throughout the day. The national weather agency also mentioned that the high winds could cause some isolated utility outages in the community before conditions improve on March 14, 2026.
The weather agency uses these types of alerts to tell the community about weather that could be hazardous but might not reach the level of a full emergency warning. The storm is expected to ease off by Saturday morning as the system moves away from the region.
