YELLOW WARNING - WINTER STORM

Impact Level: Moderate

Forecast Confidence: High


Heavy snowfall followed by a prolonged period of heavy rain What: - 30 to 40 cm of snow - 40 to 70 mm of rain When: Now to Tuesday morning Where: Kitimat to Terrace Hazards: - Challenging driving conditions due to rapidly accumulating snow and limited visibility. - Localised flooding due to rain on snow covered surfaces Additional information: An atmospheric river over the B.C. coast will remain over the region until Tuesday bringing heavy snow and rain. Heavy snow will continue through this evening and possibly after midnight. The timing of the switch over to rain is challenging and will determine the total snowfall accumulation and total rainfall amounts as temperatures hover near the freezing mark. The current forecast calls for snow to change over to rain after midnight for Kitimat and overnight for Terrace. Snow levels will rise sharply to 1,500 metres overnight before settling near 800 metres on Monday. Locally, snowfall accumulation could reach 30 to 40 cm before the transition to rain. Once the rain begins, up to 80 mm of rain could follow the snow by Tuesday morning. This may result in localised flooding as the rain collects on snow covered surfaces before the snow completely melts. Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate. Roofs are at an increased risk of collapse under the weight of snow. Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Don't drive through flooded roadways. 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.
