Special weather statement issued for Greater Victoria but warmer weather is one the way.

Environment Canada is issuing a special weather statement for Greater Victoria.

More snow is expected beginning tonight but the warmer weather is on the way.

A Pacific front reaching the B.C. coast tonight will spread snow to the south coast. Snow will continue through Sunday

The Arctic air that has been with us for nearly two weeks will finally be flushed out by milder Pacific air.

Snow will gradually change to rain beginning tomorrow night.

As usual, snowfall will be highly variable; current thinking is 5 to 15 cm of snow by dinner time Sunday with the higher amounts expected inland and over higher terrain.
