The potential for heavy accumulating snowfall on Vancouver Island Monday has prompted Environment Canada to issue a weather alert for parts of the region, from Greater Victoria to south of Courtenay.
Localized pockets of heavy snow flurries may reach sea level Monday into Monday night, when a low pressure off the Island helps draw cold air from the B.C. interior, according to Environment Canada.
“As it crosses the Strait of Georgia, localized pockets of heavy snow will develop across southeast Vancouver Island,” the agency said in its statement. “Snow levels will initially be near 200 metres but may drop to sea levels depending on precipitation intensity. Confidence in occurrence is medium, but confidence in exact area and snowfall accumulation is low as it will be highly variable.”
Environment Canada urges commuters to prepare for sudden changes in conditions as rapidly accumulating snow may make driving difficult in some locations, leading to potential travel delays and reduced visibility.
