Significant freezing rain is on the way for parts of Sudbury, North Bay and as far north as New Liskeard as well.
Environment Canada has released a special weather statement as a mix of cold air to the North and very mild air from the south are about to meet and impact Northeastern Ontario.
"A series of weather systems will track northeast across Lake Huron and Georgian Bay beginning Monday night and continuing into Wednesday," stated Environment Canada in the Weather Statement.
"This weather pattern places Northeastern Ontario on the cold side of the storm track, and in this case, will set the stage for periods of freezing rain across the region. The latest indications suggest freezing rain will arrive Monday night with the first weather system."
Environment Canada expects freezing rain to appear likely Tuesday as another weather system passes by.
Some rain is likely at times on Monday and again on Tuesday, as milder air pays a brief visit with temperatures sneaking above the zero degree mark.
Over Northern parts well inland from the Great Lakes, it will be colder, and some of the precipitation will fall as ice pellets and snow.
Hazardous travel conditions are expected. Local power outages from ice buildup on exposed structures may also become an issue to deal with in areas that get significant freezing rain.
Environment Canada is closely monitoring this situation. Freezing rain warnings will likely be issued as this event draws near.
