Environment Canada is warning people about freezing rainfall expected in parts of western Quebec north of Ottawa on Tuesday.
The weather service is forecasting a total of up to 10 millimetres of precipitation over two periods on Tuesday, beginning in the morning in areas including the Outaouais, Laurentians, Lachute, Lanaudière and Vaudreuil.
The impact could be limited given that temperatures will be close to the freezing point, but roads and sidewalks could become icy, making travel difficult.
The warning is covered in yellow on this map. Ottawa and parts of eastern Ontario and western Quebec shown in grey face a risk of freezing rain Tuesday, according to a special weather statement.
Special weather statements give information about a weather event that is potentially significant or of interest but doesn’t quite reach warning-level criteria, which are shown in yellow, orange and red.
