Flash freeze coming to Thunder Bay area

Environment Canada is warning residents in the district to be wary of possible flash freeze conditions overnight.

Above-zero temperatures on Tuesday are expected to subside by the middle of the night, which could cause rapidly-melted snow and slush to freeze over again by Wednesday morning.

Residents who plan to walk or drive on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning can expect icy surfaces on roads and walkways, which may be difficult to spot.

Environment Canada advises caution to anyone travelling outside in flash freeze conditions.

The warning has been issued for:

  • The City of Thunder Bay
  • Beardmore – Jellicoe – Macdiarmid
  • Gull Bay – Black Sturgeon Lake
  • Atikokan – Upsala
  • Superior West
  • Nipigon – Rossport
