The Sea to Sky, Allison Pass, and Rogers Pass may see some wet snow and mixed precipitation from this event.
Cold air aloft will also provide the instability needed for a storm threat across the Interior, where we’ll see the potential for non-severe thunderstorms on Friday and Saturday.
Don’t expect a warmup anytime soon. Southern B.C. can expect near- to below-normal temperatures for the next week, as well as a secondary round of rainfall arriving into early next week.
