The agency says several hours of freezing rain are expected, with one to five millimetres of ice buildup possible.
The rain is expected to begin at about midday and end early Tuesday evening.
The precipitation is expected to start as “patchy” freezing drizzle before turning to freezing rain, which could be mixed with snow or ice pellets at times.
Residents are warned to be aware of potentially slippery roads and walkways and that local utility outages are possible.
Some school boards that still have buses running are warning that delays and future cancellations are possible.
