Freezing Rain Warning in Effect Monday

Freezing rain is likely for Midwestern Ontario Monday.

Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for the following areas:

  • Bruce Peninsula - Sauble Beach - Tobermory
  • Owen Sound - Blue Mountains - Northern Grey County
The weather agency is tracking a Colorado low weather system over the region. A few areas from the Oak Ridges Moraine to the Dundalk highlands may see patchy freezing drizzle in the overnight hours of Sunday night to Monday morning.

More precipitation will affect a wider area throughout the day Monday. Much of it will be rain since temperatures will be above the freezing mark, but if temperatures dip, freezing rain may occur, making roads and sidewalks slippery.

Freezing rain warnings are issued when rain falling in sub-zero temperatures may result in ice buildup.

The rest of Midwestern Ontario is under a fog advisory for Sunday into Monday.
