Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement in Chatham-Kent, as snow, freezing rain and rain is likely late Wednesday into Thursday.
Forecasters say snowfall amounts up to 10 cm are expected, along with the risk of freezing rain.
It is expected to begin late Wednesday afternoon or evening and ending Thursday.
“Snowfall associated with a low pressure system is likely for the area beginning late Wednesday afternoon or evening,” forecasters say.
“Confidence in the exact track of the low pressure system is uncertain at this point, but it is likely that snow will transition to freezing rain or rain later Wednesday night with temperatures expected to rise above the freezing mark.”
Forecasters added: “If the track of the low shifts farther south, more of the precipitation would fall as snow which would increase snowfall amounts. Regardless of the track of the weather system, hazardous travel conditions are likely Wednesday evening and Wednesday night. Motorists are urged to exercise caution.”
