Remarks: A wintery mix of weather conditions is expected to impact the South Coast of BC over the next several days. A low pressure system is making its way towards the BC coast with steady precipitation beginning this afternoon. Due to initially low freezing levels, wet snow is likely over higher elevations with some areas receiving near 4 cm by Friday morning when the snow is expected to change to rain for most regions. Friday, temperatures are expected to rise and most areas will see just rain throughout the day. Some regions such as the North Shore could see significant rainfall amounts. However, Friday night and through the weekend, temperatures will fall as cold arctic air begins to invade the region and mix with the Pacific moisture. Amounts are uncertain at this time but accumulating snow is likely in many areas this weekend. Warnings will be issued as necessary.By early next week, very cold and dry air is expected over the South Coast with outflow conditions from an arctic ridge of high pressure settling over the region.###Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
