Most of the Quinte Region will have a very soggy Tuesday, but the threat of freezing rain is looming over the Bancroft area.
A Special Weather Statement has been issued by Environment Canada for North Hastings.
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT – BANCROFT
What: Extended period of freezing rain or freezing drizzle. Rain with amounts in the 20 to 40 mm range possible.
When: Beginning early Tuesday morning and ending early Wednesday morning.
Additional information: A Colorado Low is expected to bring freezing rain, freezing drizzle and rain to the region. There remains considerable uncertainty regarding the track and some of the details of this system. At this point, it appears entirely possible that the precipitation could arrive in two waves with a break for several hours on Tuesday. During this break, the freezing rain may stop or change to freezing drizzle. The location of the band of freezing rain could also shift significantly should the track of this system change. Temperatures are likely to rise above the freezing mark on Tuesday in the Bancroft area, changing the freezing rain to rain. Untreated roads may become icy and slippery. Motorists should allow extra time to get to their destination. Power outages are possible.
