In a warning issued Thursday morning and renewed in the afternoon, the weather agency forecast another blast of winter weather for Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the Sunshine Coast.
Areas affected by the incoming frontal system are expected to see snowfall early Friday morning, which could be mixed with rain.
The snow is expected to intensify at some point during the morning, then will taper off in the afternoon, Environment Canada said. By the end, the agency expects municipalities under the warning to see five to 10 centimetres.
It warns the snow may fall heavily, accumulating quickly and making travel challenging.
In Metro Vancouver, the warning applies to:
- Burnaby
- New Westminster
- Coquitlam
- Maple Ridge
- Richmond
- Delta
- the North Shore
- Surrey
- Langley
The Fraser Valley warning includes Hope, Abbotsford and Chilliwack.
The Sunshine Coast warning applies to the area between Gibsons and Earls Cove, and Saltery Bay to Powell River.
