Rick Wyman has all the weather details you need to know for northeastern Ontario and what to expect for the next seven days.

Environment Canada has issued a yellow warning about a flash freeze Wednesday morning in North Bay and Greater Sudbury.

“Temperatures are forecast to fall rapidly,” the warning said.

“Ponding water, slush, and any falling precipitation will freeze as the temperature drops. Temperatures rapidly falling below freezing, leading to icy conditions.”

The warning is in effect this morning and into the afternoon.
