There could be more messy weather on the way. Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning.
Freezing rain could begin Thursday evening, possibly changing to ice pellets around midnight.
Freezing rain warning in effect for:
- Belleville – Quinte West – Eastern Northumberland County
- Cobourg – Colborne – Western Northumberland County
Freezing rain expected tonight.
Hazard:
Freezing rain with ice accretion of up to a few millimetres possible.
Timing:
Tonight.
Discussion:
A wintry mix of precipitation is expected beginning late this evening. Precipitation may begin as rain or ice pellets in some areas before transitioning to freezing rain and ice pellets. Ice accretion may be limited during the onset as ground temperatures may be above zero. Freezing rain conditions may last through the overnight hours in some areas before changing to freezing drizzle or light snow by Friday morning.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions.
Freezing rain warnings are issued when rain falling in sub-zero temperatures creates ice build-up and icy surfaces.
