Those in the London, Ont., region can expect some icy conditions Monday with freezing rain in the morning and the potential for freezing drizzle in the afternoon.

A freezing rain warning from Environment Canada — covering a portion of southwestern Ontario stretching from the Waterloo region down to Windsor, including London and Middlesex County — was lifted just after 10:30 a.m. Monday. However, the forecast for London still calls for a risk of freezing rain in the afternoon.

According to meteorologists, patchy freezing rain is expected to transition to rain as the temperature rises. However, the rain is expected to change over to snow or possibly freezing drizzle as the temperature falls again in the afternoon.
