SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT

Low-Elevation Snowfall for South Coast When: - Today: Widespread risk. - Wednesday morning: Local risk over higher terrain and inland sections. What: - Trace to 4 cm for areas near sea level. - Near or possibly exceeding 5 cm over higher terrain including the Malahat Highway, inland areas of Vancouver Island, and the North Shore on the Mainland. - The Sea to Sky Highway north of Squamish and including Whistler is forecast to receive 5 to 15 cm by this evening. Hazards: - Potential for challenging driving conditions. Allow extra time for travel. - Prepare for sudden reduction in visibility in heavy flurries. Remarks: A cold, unstable air mass is bringing a risk of snow down to sea level. Accumulations will be highly variable over short distances and will impact the morning commute today and continue into the afternoon. North of Squamish, precipitation is likely to remain as snow through tonight, generating higher total snowfall accumulations for the Sea to Sky Highway and Whistler. Over Vancouver Island, inland areas and especially higher elevation roads are also at risk of wet flurries and additional accumulations continuing this afternoon. The risk of flurries returns Wednesday morning but is likely to be confined to higher terrain. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #BCStorm.

These heavy flurries will taper off early Wednesday morning. A low pressure system crossing the southwest interior Wednesday night will bring another round of heavy flurries, blowing snow and strong winds to the southern interior highways. Snow will begin in earnest late Wednesday afternoon as the low approaches the highways. As a sharp cold front associated with this low passes over the area Wednesday night, snowfall will intensify and winds will rise with strong wind gusts up to 100 km/h resulting in near zero visibility in blowing snow. Conditions will improve Thursday morning but gusty winds and scattered flurries will prevail. Roads and walkways may be difficult to navigate. Visibility may be suddenly reduced to near zero at times. Some travel delays are possible. Weather in the mountains can change suddenly resulting in hazardous driving conditions. Allow extra time for travel. The site shiftintowinter.ca reminds drivers to know before you go. Adjust to winter driving behaviour and use winter tires and chains.
