Get ready for another possible snowfall, Vancouver Island.

Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for eastern Vancouver Island and the Malahat Highway area.

According to the weather agency, about two to five centimeters of snow is expected fall between Wednesday morning until later in the night.

“A Pacific frontal system will move onto the BC South Coast on Wednesday. Freezing levels will initially be near sea level Wednesday morning and as a result precipitation will start as snow,” the weather statement reads.

The snow is expected to accumulate before warmer air pushes in late Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night allowing the snow to change to rain.

Higher elevations are likely to see higher accumulations, while regions closer to sea level may not see much accumulation.

Make sure to check road conditions before heading out.
