Residents in Sylvan Lake, Alberta, are seeing a quick shift in weather on Friday, March 20, 2026, as early morning snow flurries make way for a warm afternoon high of 8°C.
According to Environment Canada, the light snow that began early this morning is expected to end around noon. The sky will clear up in the afternoon, and winds will pick up from the southeast at about 20 kilometres per hour.
The expected high temperature of 8°C is significantly warmer than the usual afternoon high of 4°C for this time of year. This brief warm-up follows a cloudy start to the day that brought wintery conditions to the community.
Drivers should stay alert as road conditions change quickly during the transition from morning snow to afternoon sun. The melting snow and warmer temperatures can create slippery or slushy spots on local streets and highways throughout the day.
