Baseball is officially back today!
A Special Weather Statement is in effect for this weekend:
“Confidence is increasing in a widespread, prolonged freezing rain event over portions of southern Ontario. The swath of maximum ice accretion is still uncertain at this point, but confidence is highest for areas of central and eastern Ontario between Parry Sound and Kingston. Warnings will be issued as the event draws nearer.
“A break in the freezing rain is expected for most areas late in the day on Saturday into Saturday night before a second round of freezing rain begins.”
