Chilly pattern brings stormy, snowy weekend to B.C. – The Weather Network

While the storms should remain below severe limits, the stronger cells could produce small hail and heavy rainfall. This risk covers much of Vancouver Island, Metro Vancouver, and the Interior toward the Okanagan.

Showers, high-elevation snow this weekend

Conditions will feel downright cold at higher elevations as this pattern sweeps over the province. Forecasters expect falling freezing levels to change rain over to snow throughout southern B.C.

Watch for snow throughout some of the province’s highway passes, including the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector, Allison Pass, Kootenay Pass, and Rogers Pass.

While this continuing pattern of cool and gloomy conditions may be unwelcome news for folks with outdoor plans across the province, additional precipitation and lower temperatures are beneficial as we head through wildfire season. Every little bit helps.
