The Ottawa-Gatineau country could be come to with a serious bout of freezing rain down sun eventide, Environment Canada is warning.
The weather agency has issued an orange-level warning for the nation's capital, as well as most of eastern Ontario and western Quebec.
In Ottawa, "significant" freezing rain is expected to begin tonight and continue into Monday morning, Environment Canada said. Ice accretion could be between 15 and 20 millimetres.
Travel will be hazardous and prolonged power outages are likely, the agency said. Monday morning's rush hour will also likely be challenging, and non-essential trips should be postponed.
The freezing rain should taper off to normal rain late Monday morning, Environment Canada said, as the temperature rises just above zero.
As of early Sunday afternoon, the orange-level warning also covered communities like Cornwall, Pembroke, Renfrew, Perth, Gananoque and Bancroft, plus the entirety of the Outaouais.
A yellow-level warning was in place for the Kingston, Napanee and Belleville areas.
Environment Canada recently switched to a new colour-coded weather alert system, one that better aligns with recommendations from the World Meteorological Association.
Weather warnings are now issued in three colours of ascending severity: yellow, orange and red.
