It’s about to get wet in Milton.
There are two Weather Alerts for the area:
Freezing Rain Warning
“This freezing rain event will not be nearly as significant as the ice storm from this past weekend. Freezing rain begins east of Lake Huron this morning before reaching central Ontario later this afternoon. Precipitation may begin as snow and ice pellets for some areas. Easterly winds gusting 50 to 60 km/h may exacerbate any tree damage. As temperatures rise above the freezing mark, freezing rain will transition to rain this afternoon. For locations over higher terrain, freezing rain may linger into early this evening. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery.”
Rainfall Warning
“Rain begins this morning over extreme southwestern Ontario before reaching the Golden Horseshoe this afternoon. With thunderstorms expected, rainfall amounts may exceed 50 mm over some areas, particularly over southwestern Ontario. Rain will end from west to east overnight into early Thursday morning.”
