Residents of Canada's capital region can expect a day of sunshine followed by overnight flurries this Saturday, according to the latest weather forecast.
Weekend Weather Pattern
The meteorological outlook for Ottawa calls for clear skies and sunshine throughout Saturday, providing ideal conditions for outdoor activities and holiday preparations. However, the pleasant daytime weather will give way to overnight flurries as temperatures drop after sunset.
This weather pattern reflects the transitional nature of late November in Eastern Ontario, where sunny days can quickly transform into winter precipitation overnight. The forecast was published on November 29, 2025 at 11:16 AM EST by meteorologist Adam Beauchemin.
Regional Weather Context
While Ottawa prepares for mixed weather conditions, other regions across Canada are experiencing more extreme weather patterns. A significant winter storm is expected to linger into the weekend with up to 60 cm of snow possible in some areas, creating challenging travel conditions.
Meanwhile, in Saskatchewan, icy streets in Saskatoon have already led to a spike in collisions, prompting authorities to warn drivers about hazardous road conditions. The City of Windsor has also confirmed they are prepared for a snowy weekend ahead.
Safety Precautions and Travel Advisory
With changing weather conditions affecting multiple provinces, transportation officials are urging Canadians to exercise caution. Police services across eastern Ontario have ramped up their holiday season RIDE programs as impaired driving charges climb throughout the region.
Drivers should prepare for potentially slippery road conditions and reduced visibility, especially during nighttime hours when temperatures drop below freezing. The overnight flurries expected in Ottawa may create slick surfaces for Sunday morning travel.
Environment Canada continues to monitor weather systems across the country and will issue any necessary weather warnings or special weather statements as conditions develop throughout the weekend.
