Environment Canada says periods of freezing drizzle this evening could lead to icy surfaces.
“An area of freezing drizzle has developed across eastern portions of the Golden Horseshoe and may last through parts of this evening,” the advisory reads.
“Roads, walkways, and other surfaces will likely become icy and slippery. Icy surfaces will likely form and could be difficult to detect. There is risk of injury due to slips and falls.”
The advisory is also in effect in York Region and parts of Durham Region.
