Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) that could make for a messy and potentially hazardous commute Thursday evening.
The warning covers the City of Toronto as well as the regions of Peel, Halton, Durham and York and warns of a “wintry mix” of precipitation beginning Thursday evening and continuing throughout the night.
“Freezing rain conditions may last through the evening and overnight hours in some areas before changing to freezing drizzle or light snow by early Friday morning.”“Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions,” the warning reads.
The city also announced its four warming centres will be open tonight as of 7 p.m., but noted that its recently-added fourth warming centre at Cecil Community Centre, near Kensington Market, will have limited space tonight due to a previous booking at the site.Scarborough Civic Centre, 150 Borough DriveCecil Community Centre, 58 Cecil Street
“The City is monitoring the weather forecast and road conditions, and has deployed crews and equipment to strategic and high-priority locations around the city so they can respond as soon as required,” the city says.
