A freezing rain warning has been lifted for Toronto and some parts of the GTA but motorists in southern Ontario are being warned about a tricky morning commute.
Environment Canada is forecasting more rain in Toronto for early Wednesday morning though forecasters expect the drizzle to stop by early afternoon.
The temperature in the city is expected to hover around 4C.
North of the city, the conditions will remain tricky for motorists.
York and Durham regions remain under a freezing rain warning. The warning also extends to Barrie and the rest of southern Ontario's cottage country.
Police are warning motorists to drive slower and give themselves extra time during their morning commute as the roadways may be slippery.
Meanwhile, a freezing rain warning has ended for Halton and Peel regions.
