Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for the Airdrie area.

Freezing rain is expected to develop Saturday morning. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery.

The freezing rain warning is in effect for:

  • Airdrie 
  • Cochrane 
  • Olds 
  • Sundre

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas.
