Residents in Port Alberni, British Columbia, should prepare for a mix of wet snow and rain on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, as a Pacific storm tracked by Environment Canada brings messy road conditions to the region.
People living in higher parts of the community may see up to 10 centimetres of snow throughout the morning. In lower areas, the weather is expected to be a mix of wet snow and rain before turning into steady rain around midday.
Drivers are encouraged to give themselves extra time for the morning commute because of the potential for slush and slippery roads. The weather office warns that the storm will make travel challenging, especially on inland roads and mountain passes.
Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 5 degrees Celsius as the snow changes over to rain later in the day. Residents should stay cautious while driving through higher elevations where snow accumulation will be at its highest.
