Update: Environment Canada has ended the freezing rain warning across Chatham-Kent.
Original story:
A freezing rain warning is continuing across Chatham-Kent.
“A warm front crossing southern Ontario today will open the door to a milder damp period for the region,” Environment Canada officials stated. “But until the milder air arrives, some freezing rain is projected to affect many regions, especially this morning. It will begin early this morning in the Windsor to Sarnia corridor and work its way northeastwards encompassing areas to the east of Lake Huron later this morning.”
“It appears most areas will receive a couple of hours of freezing rain before a changeover to some patchy rain as temperatures nudge above the freezing mark. Ground temperatures below freezing may also result in icy and slippery surfaces continuing through the morning hours.”
Officials say surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery.
“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.
