Stormy week ahead
Mild at first then turning cold
FREEZING RAIN WARNING FOR OTTAWA VALLEY
A very mild and rainy Tuesday is expected before much colder air floods into the region on Wednesday. This evening expect a warm front to approach and lift north of the area by morning. Any snow or frozen precipitation that develops after midnight will switch quickly to rain by daybreak with temperatures warming to plus 5 to 8C tomorrow. Several hours of light freezing rain or drizzle is possible along highways 417 and 7.

Another much stronger low will take shape in the Ohio Valley and move just south of our area on Wednesday. With colder air moving in, expect snow with this system. The snow could be significant, we will have to watch this forecast carefully. In the short term enjoy the mild weather and make sure once again that all drainage areas are clear of snow, ice and debris, & that sump pumps are working.
