It probably feels like deja vu, but Canadians are in for more wet weather on Sunday. Depending on where you live, it could be snow, rain or freezing rain — but some communities will get all three.
On the West Coast, winter storm warnings are in place for several parts of B.C.
Parts of British Columbia near the Yukon border, including Atlin and Hyland River Park, are expected to see heavy snowfall with totals reaching about 15 centimetres.
Even higher amounts are expected in the North Coast, especially for inland communities such as Kitimat and Terrace, with 20 to 30 cm expected by Sunday evening. Environment Canada cautions freezing rain will become mixed with wet snow as the day wears on before changing over to rain and snow overnight.
Meanwhile, a flood watch is in effect for rivers near Prince Rupert and on Haida Gwaii, where the rain started Saturday. Up to 150 millimetres could fall by Monday morning.
Next door, cold warnings are in place for much of eastern and central Alberta and western Saskatchewan with wind chills bringing the temperature to near -40C. Environment Canada says temperatures will moderate later Sunday morning but advises residents to take proper precautions.
A portion of southern Manitoba could also see some blowing snow, with a yellow advisory in place. The agency says strong northwesterly winds combined with falling snow will lead to reduced visibility this afternoon across the Red River Valley. About five to 10 cm of new snow is also expected across the southern part of the valley.
