Freezing rain warning for the Lakeland

Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for the Lakeland region.

A band of freezing rain is expected to develop late this afternoon into this evening. The band of freezing rain will stretch from Slave Lake to Cold Lake regions. The freezing rain is expected to end by Friday morning.
