Port Colborne, Ontario, is facing a day of changing weather conditions as a mix of rain, freezing rain, and possible thunderstorms are forecast for today, March 20, 2026. The morning is expected to be cloudy with periods of rain beginning early in the day and ending by the afternoon.

According to Environment Canada, there is a risk of freezing rain this morning, which could affect local travel. While the day started with a temperature of -6°C, the temperature is expected to climb to a high of 9°C as the system moves through.

Later in the day, the rain will likely turn into a 60 per cent chance of showers. There is also a risk of a thunderstorm late this afternoon, though there are currently no active weather alerts in effect for the community.

Residents are encouraged to be careful on the roads as conditions change quickly from freezing to warm. This type of rapid shift in temperature is common for the Niagara region during the start of the spring season.
