Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for the southern Kawarthas region for Thursday night (March 5).
The “yellow” warning is in effect for southern Peterborough County, southern Kawartha Lakes, and Northumberland County.
Freezing rain associated with a low pressure system will move in from the west Thursday evening. Latest analyses indicate the northern edge of the freezing rain area will be over or just to the north of the region.
Ice accretion of up to 2 millimetres is expected before the freezing rain tapers off to patchy freezing drizzle overnight.
Roads and walkways will likely become icy and slippery. Icy surfaces could be difficult to detect.
There is risk of injury due to slips and falls. Be very careful if walking or driving.
