Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Brockville, Ontario, warning of a long period of freezing rain starting tonight, March 10, 2026. The storm is expected to begin late tonight or early Wednesday morning and could last for up to 24 hours in some parts of the region.
Forecasters expect ice to build up between 10 and 20 mm across the area, including Prescott. This significant amount of ice is likely to cause tree branches to break and may lead to widespread utility outages and hazardous travel conditions throughout the day.
The freezing rain will continue through most of Wednesday, March 11, 2026. While there is a chance that temperatures will rise above the freezing mark on Wednesday afternoon to limit the total ice build-up, the risk to local infrastructure and power lines remains high.
Local residents are advised to prepare for potential power outages and to stay informed as more weather alerts are issued. The national weather agency notes that official freezing rain warnings will likely be put in place as the storm moves closer to the area.
