Delta, British Columbia, Canada Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

Snow expected Sunday night into Monday morning.

Locations: Vancouver Island, Sunshine Coast, Lower Mainland and Howe Sound.

Snow accumulations: 2 to 10 cm.

Timespan: Sunday evening into Monday morning, potentially impacting the morning commute.

Remarks: A weather system will approach the south coast Sunday night, bringing another chance of snow to the region. Snow from the system will start over Vancouver Island Sunday evening and spread to the mainland overnight. The snow is expected to taper off Monday morning. As snow levels hover near the surface over some localities, the snow could be wet or mixed with rain. 

Across Vancouver Island, snowfall accumulations of 2 to 10 cm are possible, with the heaviest snow expected over higher elevations and inland sections.

For the Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast, and Howe Sound amounts of 2 to 5 cm are likely. 

However, there is still uncertainty associated with the strength and track of this weather system, and some forecast models show the potential for even higher snowfall amounts into Monday morning. These forecast snowfall accumulations may change as we get closer to the event.

Be prepared for changing weather conditions during the morning commute Monday.
