The weekend is bringing a cold front to British Columbia, with significant snowfall expected in various mountainous regions. An upper-level trough is moving into the area, resulting in lower freezing levels.
Snow Forecast for British Columbia
This Saturday, freezing levels are predicted to drop to approximately 1300 meters. This decrease will create conditions for wet snow along several highway passes, including:
- Sea to Sky
- Allison Pass
- Rogers Pass
These areas may experience wet snow and mixed precipitation due to the incoming cold front. Additionally, cold air in the upper atmosphere will create instability throughout the Interior.
Potential Storm Threat and Temperature Outlook
On Friday and Saturday, residents in the Interior should be prepared for the possibility of non-severe thunderstorms. Current forecasts indicate that Southern British Columbia is in for near- to below-normal temperatures over the upcoming week.
Moreover, another round of rainfall is expected to arrive early next week, prolonging the cold and wet conditions.
