A period of freezing rain likely Tuesday.

Freezing rain is expected to begin Tuesday morning and last for several hours before changing to rain in the afternoon. There is a chance of snow mixed with freezing rain overnight before the freezing rain starts.

Hazardous winter travelling conditions are expected.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays. Road closures are possible. Ice build-up may cause tree branches to break. Utility outages may occur.

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