Environment Canada has issued a yellow snowfall warning for Ajax, Ontario, with up to 15 centimetres of snow expected to arrive late Friday morning, March 13, 2026. This storm will move through the area until Saturday morning and is likely to make local roads and sidewalks very slippery.
Forecasters say the snow could fall as fast as five centimetres every hour during the heaviest part of the storm. This heavy snowfall is expected to happen during the Friday afternoon rush hour, which will make driving difficult across the Pickering-Oshawa-Southern Durham Region.
The total amount of snow will depend on how close residents live to the water. While inland areas and higher spots like the Oak Ridges Moraine could see the full 15 centimetres, neighbourhoods along the Lake Ontario shoreline may see less snow if the air is warm enough to bring rain instead.
Residents are encouraged to be careful as conditions are expected to get worse throughout the day on Friday. The storm is predicted to clear out of the community by Saturday morning, March 14, 2026.
