The temperature in Greater Victoria is expected to drop to –1 C by Friday evening. The normal low is around 6 C.
Snow is expected to fall on the Malahat, Mount Arrowsmith and higher elevations on Vancouver Island Tuesday as a low pressure system from the Gulf of Alaska moves toward the south coast, drawing in cold air from the Interior, Environment Canada said Monday.
“And that’s the first time we’ve had more than a day or two of below-seasonal temperatures since before May. It’s been a while and that’s why it’s going to hit us extra hard,” he said. “This will feel colder than if it happened in February or March. It is actually colder than seasonal.” The Malahat could see snow by Tuesday evening. Higher elevations such as the Port Alberni summit between Coombs and Port Alberni and Sutton Pass between Port Alberni and Kennedy Lake will likely see wet snow. Higher elevations of Highway 28 between Gold River and Campbell River and Highway 19 between Port Hardy and Campbell River will also see snow.
