A Pacific storm system is expected to bring snow and a sharp drop in temperatures to Chestermere, Alberta, starting the evening of Wednesday, March 25, 2026. The storm follows a period of mild weather, which could cause surfaces like sidewalks and roads to ice up quickly as temperatures fall.

According to Environment Canada, the temperature is forecast to drop from a high of 5°C on Wednesday to a low of -12°C overnight. By Thursday morning, wind chill values are expected to make the air feel as cold as -19°C. The agency also forecasts about two centimetres of snow accumulation through Thursday morning.

The Weather Network reports that periods of snow will continue through Thursday, March 26, 2026. This sudden change follows warm Chinook winds that recently moved through the region, bringing temperatures well above the freezing mark.

The provincial road service, 511 Alberta, recommends that residents check road conditions before the Thursday morning commute. While no formal weather alerts have been issued, the combination of light freezing drizzle and falling temperatures is expected to create slippery driving conditions.
