Icy Monday Ahead: Freezing Rain Threatens Ontario's Commutes


As southern Ontario braces for a pattern change, commuters should be wary of freezing rain that is expected to make roads slippery on Monday. Warmer air moving into the region will clash with stubborn cold air near the surface, creating conditions ripe for ice formation.


Areas at Highest Risk:

- Northern Greater Toronto Area (GTA)

- Cottage country

- Eastern Ontario, including Orangeville, Barrie, and Peterborough


Timing:

- Ice accretion will coincide with the morning commute and continue into the early afternoon before transitioning to rain.

- Central Ontario and the Nickel Belt may experience icing through the evening, potentially turning back to snow.


Precautions:

- Expect slow and messy commutes due to slippery road conditions.

- Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued widespread freezing rain warnings.


Stay tuned to local weather updates and drive safely!
