Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for:

  • Burk's Falls - Bayfield Inlet,
  • Huntsville - Baysville, 
  • Parry Sound - Muskoka

Freezing rain is expected or occurring.

Rain is changing to freezing rain early this morning as temperatures drop behind a cold front. Freezing rain is expected to last for a few hours before ending later this morning or early this afternoon.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery.

Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions.

In North Bay, the forecast calls for a 40 per cent chance of drizzle early this morning then 40 per cent chance of flurries later this morning with clearing late this afternoon. 

Freezing rain warnings are issued when rain falling in sub-zero temperatures creates ice build-up and icy surfaces.
