Residents in Camrose, Alberta, should prepare for a sudden drop in temperature and snowy conditions starting on March 3, 2026. Environment Canada is forecasting a 60 per cent chance of flurries beginning Tuesday morning and continuing through the night.

Biting winds from the northeast are expected to reach speeds of up to 20 kilometres per hour, making it feel much colder than the actual temperature. By the early hours of March 4, 2026, the wind chill is predicted to reach -20 Celsius.

Drivers using Highway 13 and Highway 21 should watch for slippery sections and drifting snow that may make it harder to see. Alberta Health Services recommends that people working outdoors take regular breaks to warm up, as cold winds can quickly lead to health concerns.

While the weather will be cold, schools are expected to stay open and buses will likely continue to run. The Battle River School Division typically only cancels bus service when temperatures reach -40 Celsius or wind chills reach -45 Celsius.
