Environment Canada has issued a series of warnings and advisories as a frontal system that could bring Metro Vancouver its first snowfall this winter nears the British Columbia coast.
A special weather statement says Metro Vancouver could see up to four centimetres of snow accumulating on Saturday in higher elevations such as the North Shore and Burnaby Mountain, although wet snow is forecast at sea level.
Environment Canada also says up to 10 centimetres of snow is possible in higher terrain of the Sunshine Coast, while coastal areas may see about two centimetres.
Whistler is forecast to receive up to 10 centimetres, and Environment Canada is warning of winter driving conditions on the Sea to Sky Highway north of Squamish starting Saturday morning.
A wind warning is also in place for the central and north coasts and Haida Gwaii starting Friday evening, with gusts potentially reaching 110 km/h early Saturday.
