A nasty winter storm is moving in from the US this afternoon. One low pressure area is located over the Great Lakes while the second is developing along the east coast. The twin system will spread a wide area of steady precipitation from south to north as the evening and overnight period wears on. By morning steady freezing rain is expected in many parts of the province including Kemptville. Look for the precipitation to begin as snow late tonight and transition to freezing rain and then rain by mid morning Monday. Roads will become icy and travel poor tonight. A Winter Storm Watch in in effect for all of eastern and southern Ontario as well as Winter Weather Advisories for New York and Vermont. Over 25mm of ice, rain and snow is expected. Areas in the upper Ottawa Valley may see 20cm of snow as well as the northern Laurentians. The St. Lawrence Valley including Montreal will see more ice and rain than snow. Freezing Rain Warnings are out for those regions.
Next storm update by 7pm tonight.
