Causing poor visibility, heavy and blowing snow is expected tonight in Prince George and most of the BC Interior, Environment Canada said.
There will be five-10 cm of snow and northwest winds gusting to 50 km/h.
The culprit is an intense Pacific cold front that will sweep across the interior from north to south late today and tonight. A band of heavy snow and strong northwest winds associated with the front will cause poor visibility for about two or three hours. Many areas will see five cm of snowfall while higher elevations could see as much as 10 cm.
The cold front is forecast to cross Prince George early this evening, reach 100 Mile House and Blue River late this evening. Revelstoke and the southwest interior near midnight and finally the Kootenay regions after midnight.
This snow and blustery weather is coming earlier to the Lakes District, including Burns Lake, and residents there can expect the mess to arrive late afternoon.
