WEATHER ALERT | Freezing rain and heavy rainfall.
Freezing rain with ice build-up of 2 to 5 mm in some areas, beginning overnight or early Wednesday morning and ending by Wednesday evening, will create icy and slippery conditions. Rainfall totals of 10 to 20 mm are also expected. Localized flooding and ponding in low-lying areas is possible.
Things to remember:
Roads and walkways will likely become icy and slippery. Use caution to avoid slips and falls.
Stay away from creeks, rivers and all waterbodies due to slippery banks and elevated water levels.
Help reduce flooding risk by ensuring culverts, catch basins and ditches are clear and storm drains are not blocked.
