Snow warnings issued for parts of Vancouver Island
Snow warnings were issued for several parts of Vancouver Island and coastal B.C. with snow expected to land on the north coast this evening and spreading southwards on Tuesday.
Environment Canada issued the warnings and cited a moist Pacific frontal system approaching the coast of B.C. where it will encounter cold Arctic air entrenched over the province. Snowfall was expected to be the result in coastal communities.
Victoria and southern Vancouver Island, however, escaped the warning. But about two to three centimetres of snow mixed with rain was still predicted for Tuesday giving way to rain on Wednesday.
Victoria high temperatures are expected to reach 3 C and as low as -3 C on Tuesday. Those temperatures are expected to rise on Wednesday to a high of 6 C and a low of 2 C.
Meanwhile, warnings were put in place for the east coast and the interior portions of Vancouver Island.
Beginning Tuesday morning, five centimetres of snow was predicted for Campbell River down through Nanaimo. High temperatures were predicted of 1 C with lows of -3 C.
These conditions were expected to hold until Wednesday when temperatures were predicted to rise to as much as 8 C and the snow was expected to give way to rain.
