There is a little bit of snow on the side of the road at Taylor River near Sutton Pass. Be careful today! Doesn’t look like any other cameras have snow on the South Island but that could change.

You can find local webcams and drivebc cams quickly on the webcam page at Alberniweather.

Depending where you are in the Valley, there may be flurries! But rain or drizzle is more likely if anything at all. Radar is showing a light mix possible over the Island. The mountains will be relieved! Most of the action is at higher elevations, not sea level.

This looks like a positive snow forecast for BC mountains and the Interior next week!

Another SWS has been issued for potential snow!

"A low will move to the west of Vancouver Island this afternoon and tonight. It will send bands of flurries over West Vancouver Island late this afternoon, and the rest of Vancouver Island this evening. Flurries will continue into the overnight period and early Saturday morning. Snowfall amounts will be highly variable, but 2 to 4 cm can be expected with local amounts exceeding 5 cm.”

Weather Alerts for: Inland Vancouver Island - Environment Canada

When severe weather threatens, Environment Canada issues alerts that notify those in affected areas in British Columbia so that they can take steps to protect themselves and their property from harm. The type of alert issued depends on the severity and timing of the event. Special statements: issued to highlight significant weather or express uncertainty. Watches: alert you about weather conditions that are favourable for a storm or severe weather, which could cause safety concerns. Warning: an urgent message that severe weather is either occurring or will occur. Warnings are usually issued six to 24 hours in advance, although some severe weather (such as thunderstorms and tornadoes) can occur rapidly, with less than a half hours' notice.

Another favourite #bchwy4 pitstop on the way home is Beaufort Provincial Park on Cameron Lake.
