Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement, as freezing rain and strong winds are expected Monday and Monday night.
“A messy mix of wintry precipitation is forecast to develop Monday,” forecasters say.
“Precipitation may begin as a brief period of snow or ice pellets before transitioning to freezing rain and then rain showers or drizzle as temperatures rise above zero. A few millimetres of ice accretion will be possible before the transition to rain Monday afternoon or Monday evening.”
Environment Canada officials added: “In addition to the potential for freezing rain, strong winds gusting up to 70 km/h are also expected Monday into Monday night. Local power outages may occur. There remains uncertainty as to the exact amount of freezing rain that may occur. People are advised to monitor future forecasts as freezing rain warnings may be required as the event draws nearer.”
