A special weather statement has been issued for Niagara with possible freezing rain.

Environment Canada says freezing rain may start early this evening and then end around midnight.

We may see ice accretion or build-up of up to 2 millimetres.

“A low pressure system is expected to bring rain and possible freezing rain to the area beginning this evening. Confidence in the extent of the freezing rain is low as temperatures may remain slightly above the zero degree mark.”

Precipitation should diminish near midnight although patchy drizzle or freezing drizzle may persist into Friday morning.

Roads and walkways may become icy and slippery. Icy surfaces could be difficult to detect. There is risk of injury due to slips and falls.
