Prince George could be hit with a round of freezing rain starting Friday afternoon, Environment Canada is warning, as the local climate transitions to decidedly warmer weather.
A strong Pacific frontal system will move into B.C.'s central interior bringing in precipitation but the cold Arctic air that has dominated the weather pattern for the last several weeks will remain in place at the surface.
Snow and possibly freezing rain are expected, Environment Canada said Thursday, which should give way to rain on Saturday as the temperature rises above freezing.
A high of -2 C is forecast for Friday, rising to +5 C on Saturday and +8 C on Sunday with chances of showers on both days. From there, the the temperature is expected to progress to +10 C with a mix of sun and cloud by Wednesday according to Thursday's Environment Canada five-day forecast.
