First snowfall of 2024 with polar vortex blasts Vancouver today.
Thursday 11 January 2024
The first Arctic intrusion of the year is on the horizon.
When: Tonight to Saturday afternoon. Where: Metro Vancouver, Greater Victoria, Fraser Valley and Southern Gulf Islands Wind chill values: Near minus 20.
Hazard: Risk of frostbite and hypothermia. Remarks: Arctic air combined with strong outflow winds gusting to 60 km/h will generate wind chill values of minus 20 beginning tonight. Wind chill values may moderate on Saturday afternoon but uncertainty remains on the timing of the warm-up. Frostbite and hypothermia can occur within minutes if adequate precautions are not taken when outdoors. Any skin exposure will result in frostbite. If outside, dress warmly in layers and stay dry. Cover as much exposed skin as possible to avoid frostbite.
