Risk of Low-Elevation Snowfall Returns

When: Today and tonight.

What:
- Trace to 5 cm, mainly over higher terrain and inland areas.
- Another 5 to 10 cm is possible for high-elevation roads of Inland Vancouver Island.

Hazards:
- Potential for challenging driving conditions impacting the morning commute. Allow extra time for travel.

Remarks: A Pacific storm makes landfall today. Freezing levels are low enough that precipitation may begin as wet snow or a mixture of wet snow and rain this morning for higher elevation communities and roads, and areas further inland. There is also a slight risk that a heavier pocket of precipitation could generate wet snow down to sea level briefly.

High-elevation roads through Inland Vancouver Island may receive up to 5 to 10 cm of snow before switching to rain in the afternoon.
