A pacific frontal system will approach the British Columbia coast tonight bringing snow to the area. Total snowfall amounts of 10 to 20 cm are expected tonight through Wednesday. The snow will taper to flurries Wednesday night as the system moves away from the regions. Strong winds will also develop as the system approaches and visibility will be locally reduced in blowing snow.

Meanwhile, Arctic air will continue to push through the coastal valleys and inlets producing very strong northeasterly winds giving wind chill values below minus 20 for the inland sections of the north coast. Conditions are expected to improve late Wednesday as temperatures rise and winds moderate.
