A winter storm watch is in effect for Greater Napanee and area, with hazardous conditions expected on Wednesday.
Environment officials say a low-pressure system is forecast to move through the region, bringing a mix of snow and freezing rain. Snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 centimetres are possible, along with several hours of freezing rain that could lead to ice buildup of two to five millimetres.
The storm is expected to begin Wednesday morning and continue into the evening. Forecasters say confidence in the storm is high, though the exact track of the system could still change, which may affect snowfall totals and where the heaviest impacts are felt.
Roads and walkways are expected to become icy and slippery, and visibility could drop suddenly to near zero at times. Travel delays are possible, along with isolated power outages and potential tree or property damage.
Drivers and pedestrians are advised to allow extra time for travel and to use caution throughout the day Wednesday.
