Freezing rain on the way

Freezing Rain Warnings have been posted for southwestern Quebec including Montreal and they likely will be issued for the eastern Ontario region including Ottawa later tonight. A warm front extending from low pressure in South Dakota will move across the area on Tuesday. Along and ahead of the front a band of freezing rain will develop early in the morning and persist till late in the day with 2-4mm of ice expected. The freezing rain will gradually end as the temperature slowly rises above the 0C mark by late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Travel will be icy for most of Tuesday and caution is advised.
