There is a possibility for snowfall on the Paulson Summit and Kootenay Pass on Friday evening and Saturday morning, according to a special weather statement issued by Environment Canada.

Wet snow of up to four centimetres may be present during what Environment Canada describes as "an upper disturbance" over southern B.C.

"Because of the convective nature of the system, snow levels may temporarily lower to 1,200-1,600 metres as intense bands of precipitation move through. Snowfall accumulations will be highly variable depending on elevation."
