Flash Freeze Warning Issued

Environment Canada

(Locations listed below description)

Slippery road conditions possible this morning into this afternoon.

Temperatures continue to be above zero which has resulted in partial melting of the current snow pack. In addition, periods of rain have and will continue to contribute to partially wet road conditions across the area.

As temperatures fall rapidly this morning into this afternoon from above freezing to well below freezing, there is the potential for any wet surfaces including roads and sidewalks to become icy and slippery.

Motorists and pedestrians are advised to exercise caution.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas.

Flash freeze warnings are issued when a rapid drop in temperature is expected, that can cause water from rain or melted snow on streets and sidewalks to quickly freeze.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to onstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
