Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Pembroke, Ontario, as heavy snow is expected to fall through the early afternoon on March 20, 2026.

Total snowfall is forecast to reach between 5 and 10 centimetres, with the heaviest amounts expected in Pembroke, Petawawa, and Cobden. The snow may fall at rates of up to 3 centimetres per hour during the most intense parts of the morning.

The Ontario Provincial Police and local authorities are warning residents that roads and walkways will be difficult to navigate. This weather is expected to impact the morning and afternoon commute, making travel much slower than usual.

Crews from the City of Pembroke and Renfrew County are responsible for clearing the streets during this late-season storm. Residents should use extra caution and leave early to ensure they reach their destinations safely.
