Burlington, Ontario, is preparing for a stretch of changing weather that includes both snow and rain starting Friday, March 13, 2026. This period of active weather is expected to affect morning commutes and outdoor safety for residents across the city.

According to Environment Canada, Friday will begin with clouds and snow before transitioning to a 60 per cent chance of rain showers or flurries in the afternoon. Total snowfall is expected to be between two and four centimetres, with daytime temperatures reaching a high of 3 C.

While there are currently no official weather alerts in effect, wind gusts are expected to reach up to 50 km/h. The mix of precipitation and wind could create slippery conditions on sidewalks and roads, particularly for those traveling near the waterfront.

Following a mix of sun and clouds on Saturday, the city will see periods of snow return on Sunday, March 15, 2026. Temperatures on Sunday are forecast to reach a high of minus 1 C, and residents are encouraged to stay cautious while walking or driving throughout the weekend.
