Snowstorm synopsis. A strong NW jet will intensify a surface low late Tuesday into Wednesday AM. Not a typical weak inside slider low as pressure deepens to ~985 hPa on approach to N. Vancouver Island.
Periods of snow intensify across VI later Tuesday afternoon, with mostly dry conditions across the Lower Mainland. There's a chance the snow is fashionably late.
Wind gusts close to 90 km/h are possible across exposed portions of the Strait of Georgia & S. Van Island Tuesday night. Expect some power outages with gusty winds and heavy wet snow clogging trees and powerlines.
Snow thumps Tuesday overnight, changing to wintry-mix/rain along the straits & mainly rain in Greater Victoria. Total mess Wednesday AM, including school cancellations & major transportation issues.
Crude snowfall projections, but locally 20+ cm of snow, the snowiest November day since 2006. The highest snowfall uncertainty lies south of the Fraser. #BCSnow #BCStorm
