Heavy snow followed by heavy rain What: - 30 to 40 cm of snow - 40 to 60 mm of rain When: Near noon to Tuesday morning Where: Bella Coola, Hagensborg Hazards: - Localised flooding and water pooling on roads due to rain falling on snow-covered surfaces Additional information: An atmospheric river will begin to make landfall over the B.C. coast today and will remain over the region until Tuesday bringing heavy snow and rain. Light snow will begin this morning and intensify this evening. The timing of the switch over to rain is challenging and will determine the total snowfall accumulation and total rainfall amounts as temperatures hover near the freezing mark. The current forecast calls for snow to change over to rain near midnight. Snow levels will rise sharply to 1,200 metres overnight. Locally, snowfall accumulation could reach 30 to 40 cm before the transition to rain. Once the rain begins, up to 60 mm of rain could follow the snow by Tuesday morning. This may result in localised flooding as the rain collects on snow covered surfaces before the snow completely melts. ### Travel will likely be challenging.
