Environment Canada says freezing rain in Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent could bring slippery conditions beginning Monday night.

The weather agency has issued a freezing rain warning, saying that anywhere from two to four millimetres of ice could accumulate.

Environment Canada says "patchy freezing rain" is likely to start Monday night.

"More persistent freezing rain is expected tonight into early Tuesday morning," the agency said. "By Tuesday afternoon the freezing rain will transition to rain or snow and then eventually periods of rain or drizzle Tuesday evening as temperatures rise above zero."

Environment Canada says roads, parking lots and walkways may become slippery and ice could cause tree branches to break, possibly leading to utility outages.
