Snow and freezing rain in the forecast tonight has prompted Environment Canada to issue a special weather statement and freezing rain warning for much of southern Ontario, including London-Middlesex.
The statement was issued Tuesday morning, while the freezing rain warning was issued mid-afternoon Tuesday.
The weather agency says a band of snow mixed with ice pellets will deliver between 2-5 cm of snow Tuesday evening before turning into freezing rain. Depending on how long it takes the temperature to climb, the freezing rain could last for several hours before changing to rain.
Environment Canada notes that freezing rain could result in icy, slippery roadways and walkways and motorists are urged to drive according to the conditions.
The temperature is set to soar to a high of 6 C on Wednesday afternoon. Later in the day, strong southwesterly winds are expected to gust up to 70 or 80 kilometers an hour.
