Prince George is eyeing down a cold weekend, with a possibility of a snowfall warning.
According to Environment Canada, an arctic air system will be rolling in from the north, which has already brought roughly 70 centimetres of snow in a five day period.
As for Prince George, Meteorologist Brian Proctor said we could see anywhere from 10 to 15 centimetres of snow starting Friday.
“There’s quite a bit of uncertainty about snowfall amounts, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see that sort of Friday through the day into Saturday giving us more significant snowfall.”
“Be prepared to see a warning out there, perhaps in the next 24 to 36 hours being issued.”
Proctor added temperatures will also be at its lowest on Friday, reaching a daytime high of minus 12, with overnight lows at minus 19.
Temperatures will return to near normal highs of minus 4 on Saturday and Sunday, down to minus 6 on Monday.
Environment Canada has also implemented a new colour coded weather alert system, so in the case of a warning yellow would be least severe, increasing in severity to orange and red respectively.
