Freezing Rain Warning for the Lakeland region

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

An area of freezing rain developed over north-central Alberta overnight and is moving towards the East.

As surface temperatures rise above zero degrees Celsius, the freezing rain will change to rain and will taper off by this afternoon.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas.

Freezing rain warnings are issued when rain falling in sub-zero temperatures creates ice build-up and icy surfaces.
