It appears some residents of Vancouver Island and areas of the South Coast and Metro Vancouver could be dealing with freezing rain late Sunday night into Monday morning.
A complex weather system south of the region will move over the South Coast from Sunday night into Monday.
Some areas of the inner South Coast will still see snow from Sunday night into Monday, but it will be accumulations of 5 cm or less. Environment Canada says they will not be issuing any snowfall warnings for the time being, but say a more significant concern will be the threat of freezing rain over parts of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley early Monday morning.
Freezing rain is also possible over parts of Vancouver Island as well. By late Monday into Tuesday the warmer Pacific air will bring significant rain.
Around noon on Sunday residents of western Vancouver Island will see mixed precipitation. That system will then spread to the Fraser Valley by Sunday evening.
Between about 4 a.m. and 9 a.m. on Monday morning freezing rain will likely fall over Metro Vancouver, but out to the Fraser Valley the freezing rain could fall until about noon.
This will mean the roads will be very slippery and there could be power outages.
We will bring you the latest news on this weather system throughout Sunday and Monday. Stay tuned to our SkyTracker page for the latest.
