The barometer is diving, the northerly winds are blowing, and the flakes are flying as of early this evening. Snow from the Fraser Valley to Osoyoos continues to pile up this evening and the snow will continue to fall well into the morning hours of tomorrow.
As much as 20+cm of snow can fall over much of the Interior and Fraser Valley from Prince George all the way down to Kelowna. There could also be amounts of up to 20-25 cm over Whistler. For the rest of the mainland, It looks like a good 6-12cm, however local amounts of up to 16cm is not out of the question.
For the coasts, Vancouver Island and the Metro of Vancouver, it looks like just a few slushy inches or up to 4cm, however further north in higher elevations of Vancouver could see local amounts nearing 6-10cm.
Vancouver Island can see as much as 10cm locally.
The white stuff is all thanks to a frontal low pressure and a low pressure over Northern Alberta, these two lows are sending cold arctic air down to the far south.
The weather will improve by Tomorrow afternoon, with scattered flurries still being a possibility, but the main snow will be done with.
High pressure takes over the province on Wednesday, but it will be located to the North West of us which means the winds will be coming from that area where it’s cold. So while it will be a beautiful day, there will also be some very chilly temperatures.
Another low pressure off the coast will impact coastal parts of the province Wednesday night into Thursday with more rain and snow & likely some gusty winds.
But a much bigger storm will arrive on Friday, with very low pressure, a pressure center of 968mb, So if you have a Barometer at home, the 968mb is way down near the bottom in the STORMY section.
Coastal parts of the province can expect a very long stretch of unsettled weather, heavy rain, snow & 100 km/h winds are likely on Friday.
There will be more on Friday’s system over the coming days.
