Environment Canada has lifted its freezing rain warning for Guelph, Kitchener and London but as of 12:25 p.m. Tuesday it remained in places in some areas closer to Lake Huron.
The affected area stretches from Wiarton and Caledon to the norther section of Perth County counties and also includes Dufferin, Grey, and Bruce counties.
The warning calls for the area to see freezing rain on Tuesday afternoon which could see ice build-up of up to 4 mm.
“Although freezing rain is expected to be brief and limited during the afternoon, an earlier onset could lead to greater ice build-up,” the warning says.
“Surface temperatures are expected to rise above the freezing mark through the afternoon into the evening limiting freezing rain throughout the day.”
The agency warns to be prepared for challenging driving conditions and that utility outages may also occur as a result of the freezing rain.
