Significant freezing rain on the way. Potential for a major ice storm likely tonight for parts of Southern Ontario.

A slow-moving low currently over Illinois combined with Arctic air over Southern Ontario to produce a wintery mix this morning over parts of Southern Ontario. But the bulk of the precipitation is yet to come, and is threatening to produce quite serious consequences. The main precipitation is expected to arrive this evening in the form of freezing rain and ice pellets. It may fall heavy at times and be accompanied by a few rumbles of thunder. It will change to rain later tonight in most areas as temperatures rise above the freezing mark.

This afternoon’s commute should not be problematic, but deteriorating road conditions are likely this evening. As temperatures hover near the freezing mark, treated roads may tend to be merely wet while untreated roads may become slippery. Also, shoreline areas near Lake Ontario, including downtown Toronto, may see mixed rain and freezing rain, which will significantly limit the impacts in those areas.

The greatest concern is the risk of widespread power outages beginning this evening from downed tree limbs and power lines due to significant ice accumulation combined with northeast winds gusting to 60 km/h. Freezing rain amounts up to 10 mm are quite possible in many areas with some regions possibly exceeding 20 mm. The heavier amounts would be primarily to the west and northwest of the Greater Toronto area, over the higher terrain of the Oak Ridges moraine and above the Niagara Escarpment.

Rainfall Warning continues for Norfolk County, including Delhi, Simcoe, and Port Dover.

Heavy rainfall again tonight.

Several rounds of significant rain and thunderstorms have been affecting the warned regions over the past few days. Yet another heavy area of rain is threatening the area tonight as a slow-moving low approaches from Illinois. It is expected to develop this evening and continue well into the night along with more potential thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. An additional 25 to 30 mm are expected by Friday morning.

Freezing Rain Warning Issued – Brantford, Woodstock, Cambridge

Freezing rain warning issued for:
Brantford, Brant, Paris, Woodstock, Oxford, Norwich, Tillsonburg, Ingersoll, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Preston, Hamilton, Ancaster.

A couple hours of freezing rain likely tonight.

A burgeoning area of rain ahead of a low pressure system near Green Bay and a warm front from the low into the London area is moving quickly northeast and is expected to arrive as freezing rain overnight across most regions.

Precipitation may remain as rain though immediately along the shoreline of Lake Ontario where the temperature has already snuck just above the freezing mark at some locales.

The freezing rain is expected to change over to rain by morning as the winter storm centre works its way to near Sault Ste Marie, dragging the warm front northeastward across the district.

Motorists and pedestrians should be prepared for dangerous winter travelling conditions. Untreated surfaces will quickly become icy and slippery. Some roads and other surfaces may remain locally icy for a couple hours after the temperature rises above the freezing mark due to the cold temperatures experienced over the family day weekend.

Freezing Rain Warning Issued

Be careful travelling this afternoon, especially if you are heading north or west of the city of Brantford. A freezing rain warning has been issued for Tillsonburg, Oxford, Woodstock, London, Middlesex, Kitchener, Cambridge, Waterloo, Ancaster and Hamilton. Edit: Brantford, Delhi, Simcoe, Paris, Norfolk and Haldimand Counties added to the warning effective 2:30 pm.

The first real taste of winter may cause roads to be icy and if it changes to snow after ice is on the roads, driving my be treacherous. Be prepared for a quick change in road conditions.

Wind Warning Issed for Southern Ontario

Frankenstorm and Hurricane Sandy are starting to make their mark in southern Ontario. A wind warning has been issed for Brantford, Brant, Norfolk, Simcoe, Delhi, Oxford, Woodstock, Norwich, Tillsonburg, Hamilton, Niagara, St. Catharines, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge.

The remnants of hurricane Sandy will arrive later today as a large
and powerful post tropical fall storm over Southern Ontario. It is
forecast to track from the Atlantic ocean northwest across the mid
Atlantic states towards the Lower Great Lakes.

The Northeastern United States will take the brunt of the storm.
However, there is the potential for significant impacts in Southern
and Eastern Ontario. Significant rainfall with strong and gusty
Winds appear likely late Monday into Tuesday. The storm is expected
to weaken later Tuesday and on Halloween, but it will remain cool,
damp and breezy for the trick-or-treaters.

Areas of wet snow are possible over the Haliburton and Dundalk
Highlands overnight tonight as well as Monday night where
temperatures may flirt with the freezing mark. However, accumulations
do not appear to be significant at this time.

A complicating factor is the presence of a stalled front now over
Southern Ontario. Moisture-laden post-tropical storms with rain bands
interacting with fronts can produce significant rainfall. Persistent
rain is forecast near this front for the remainder of today leading
up to the arrival of Sandy this evening. A total of 20 to 40 mm is
likely today through tonight due to Sandy’s effects, especially
across Niagara extending west towards the St Thomas area. Lesser
amounts are likely elsewhere. Rainfall warnings appear unlikely at
this time but cannot be ruled out completely.

Wind is more of a concern. The forecast track will likely produce
widespread 50 to 70 km/h winds across Southern Ontario beginning
later today with severe gusts to 100 km/h likely. Gale to storm
Force winds are expected on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River.
The combination of sodden ground, strong winds and some residual
leaves on trees will likely lead to some areas with power outages
Due to fallen limbs or downed trees snapping power lines.

Total rainfall amounts and strength of the winds will ultimately
depend on the exact track of this large fall storm. Wind warnings
will likely be issued by 5 AM for a wide swath of Southern and
Eastern Ontario. Rainfall warnings may be issued depending on Sandy’s
path as the event draws closer.

Severe Thunderstorms Everywhere, Except Brantford

At 8:30pm A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is in effect for the City of Hamilton.

At 8:49pm A tornado warning was issued for Oxford-Tillsonburg-Woodstock, as a possible funnel was spotted in Embro. (Edit: The warning has been downgraded to a Severe Thunderstorm Warning)

And yet, still no rain for the City of Brantford. Man, even storms don’t want to hang here.

So let’s hear some Tornado Sirens.

By the way, I beleive we should have Civil Defense Sirens in Canada, to audibly warn us of bad weather as well.
