Potential for freezing rain Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.
A low pressure system from Texas will track towards the Great Lakes on Wednesday. Precipitation associated with this system will begin as snow Wednesday evening for most parts of the Golden Horseshoe and Central Ontario, but will quickly change over to freezing rain and then to rain overnight.
The same series of precipitations is expected a few hours later over Eastern parts of the province. However, eastern regions may see 5 to 10 centimetres of snow and ice pellets before the changeover to freezing rain early Thursday morning.
Untreated surfaces, such as roads, walkways and parking lots, could become icy, slippery and dangerous.
