UPDATE: Special Weather Statement for Sarnia-Lambton

Snow, rain, freezing rain or a combination thereof is in the forecast early this week.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the entire region, including the following areas:

• Sarnia - Petrolia - Western Lambton County
• Watford - Pinery Park - Eastern Lambton County

The weather agency says an area of low pressure brewing in the Southern Plains States is forecast to deepen as it tracks northeast towards Southern Ontario early this week.

This weather system will bring significant precipitation to Southern Ontario on Tuesday. Latest indications suggest that freezing rain is quite possible Tuesday before changing over to a soaking rain as considerably milder air pays a brief visit.

Poor travelling conditions are expected, especially in areas that receive freezing precipitation.

There remains some uncertainty as to the exact track of the low, which will affect how much freezing rain or rain will fall in a particular location.
