Kingston, Ontario, is expected to see a return to winter weather on Friday, March 13, 2026, as a new system brings a mix of snow and rain to the region. According to Environment Canada, the city should prepare for 2 to 4 centimetres of snow to fall throughout the day.

The weather is forecast to stay cloudy, with snow beginning late in the morning. By the late afternoon, the snow is expected to turn into a mix of snow and rain showers as the temperature reaches a high of plus 2°C.

Wind will also be a factor for those spending time outdoors. Winds are expected to shift from southeast to south and increase to 40 kilometres per hour late in the morning, with gusts reaching up to 60 kilometres per hour, before returning to the southeast and slowing down in the afternoon.

Residents should be ready for potential travel challenges as the precipitation changes. These conditions can often lead to slushy roads and reduced visibility for drivers and pedestrians during the afternoon hours.
