Environment Canada has updated its special weather statement to a freezing rain warning for Monday night (November 25) into Tuesday morning for much of the northern Kawarthas region.
The freezing rain warning is in effect for northern Peterborough County, Haliburton County, and Hastings Highlands.
Freezing rain is likely, beginning Monday night as a low pressure system approaches the lower Great Lakes. The freezing rain may be heavy at times over a few areas overnight, with a transition to rain Tuesday morning or late Tuesday morning.
Some ice accretion is possible on surfaces, possibly 1 to 4 millimetres of ice accretion depending on the area.
A few areas east of Georgian Bay and across Algonquin may see about 5 centimetres of snow accumulation late overnight into Tuesday 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.
Environment Canada issues freezing rain warnings when rain falling in sub-zero temperatures creates ice build-up and icy surfaces.
