Residents in Lethbridge, Alberta, should prepare for a quick change in weather as mild sunshine is expected to be replaced by snow starting Wednesday night, March 11, 2026. According to Environment Canada, the shift will likely create slippery conditions for drivers and pedestrians across the city.

The city will see a high of 5°C on Wednesday with sunny skies before the weather system moves in during the evening. By Thursday, March 12, 2026, temperatures are expected to drop to a high of -1°C as periods of snow continue throughout the day.

The snow is expected to persist through Thursday night, with temperatures falling to a low of -9°C. These freezing temperatures may cause slush on the streets to turn into ice, making morning and evening commutes more difficult.

Local residents are encouraged to allow for extra travel time and to be careful on sidewalks and roads. Clearing walkways as the snow falls can help prevent ice from building up during the overnight freeze.
