Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Summerside, Prince Edward Island, starting on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 11, 2026, as an incoming storm is expected to bring freezing rain and potential power outages. The weather system is forecast to bring a mix of snow and ice pellets before changing into freezing rain that could last for four to eight hours.
A low-pressure system moving across the region will create slippery conditions on roads and sidewalks. The freezing rain is expected to turn into regular rain by the morning of Thursday, March 12, 2026.
The build-up of ice on trees and power lines may cause property damage or lead to power outages across the community. People are encouraged to prepare for these conditions and monitor local updates for any service cancellations.
Travel plans should be adjusted during the storm as conditions are expected to be hazardous. Residents in Prince County are advised to stay informed as the weather system moves through the area.
