Residents in Milton, Ontario, should prepare for a cold and windy day on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, as Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement. The community can expect strong winds and brief periods where it is hard to see because of lake-effect flurries.
Wind gusts are expected to reach 70 kilometres per hour, with some isolated gusts hitting 80 kilometres per hour. While the high for the day is -3°C, the morning wind chill will feel as cold as -23 before warming slightly to -10 in the afternoon.
These strong winds could toss loose objects around or cause tree branches to break, which might lead to local power outages. Drivers should be ready for travel conditions to change quickly as blowing snow makes it difficult to see on the roads.
