By this point in winter, more snow may not be considered news – but what about freezing rain?
A low-pressure system over the American Midwest is making its way to southern Ontario.
It’s expected to start dropping precipitation on our area by early Tuesday afternoon.
Temperatures are expected to vary enough across the province that different regions will see different amounts – and types – of precipitation.
In Waterloo-Wellington, ice pellets are expected to be mixed in with snow, and fall from around the noon hour until after midnight – although a slight rise in temperatures could mean freezing rain falling instead.
About 4 cm of accumulation is expected.
To the south in Oxford-Brant, snow and ice pellets are expected to fall in the afternoon – about 2 to 4 cm in total.
By Tuesday evening, the precipitation will change to freezing rain as temperatures hover just below the freezing mark.
Overnight, the freezing rain will stop, but it is possible snow will begin to fall.
Snow will start falling around noon Tuesday in Huron-Perth, with ice pellets added to the mix later in the afternoon, and continue until sometime after midnight.
Freezing rain is also possible Tuesday night.
In Grey-Bruce, all precipitation is expected to fall as snow – with as much as 10 cm possible by Wednesday morning.
