‘Ice storm' to descend on Chicago area Tuesday evening

After the initial excitement of record-breaking warm weather in Toronto, Environment Canada has now issued a freezing rain warning.

Environment Canada meteorologist Ryan Rozinski says an unusual temperature change will bring a high of zero later in the afternoon and evening, turning freezing rain to straight rain.

Residents can expect temperatures to be well above average again Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. Icy spots on area roads will be possible early Wednesday morning. "If there's any ice still, it's going to be really weakened with all the warmth that we've had".

Snow and strong winds may continue to affect the upper Midwest and northern and western Great Lakes.

According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports , James plans on suiting up for the Lakers' game against the Los Angeles Clippers . Lead a team he did, as the Lakers secured only the second win in the last five games and improved to 27-25.

Freezing rain is expected to turn to plain rain as temperatures climb above freezing Wednesday night.

Tuesday we'll see far more clouds than sun but it'll stay dry.

The mountains will pick up some decent totals with this storm and are under a winter storm warning until 5 a.m. Thursday. Any standing water tonight is expected to freeze over. Afterwards, highs fall back into the mid to upper 30s with freezing rain/wintry mix chances increasing Wednesday and Thursday, leading to potentially slicker travel midweek.
