Potential freezing rain in forecast for Mississauga

A brief period of freezing rain may be in the forecast this evening.

“Precipitation with the next low pressure system may begin as freezing rain before it transitions to wet snow or rain late this evening,” according to Environment Canada’s forecast.

The rain is particularly likely for areas away from Lake Ontario.

Residents who will be out and about should take precautions, as surfaces may become slippery this evening and cause hazardous conditions when driving or walking.
