VANCOUVER — A strong Pacific frontal system is moving in over parts of British Columbia, bringing rain or snow, strong winds and poor driving conditions through to Tuesday.

Wind will be a problem for Haida Gwaii with gusts up to 110 kilometres per hour, while in Greater Victoria winds will reach 60 to 90 kilometres per hour.

Snowfall warnings are up for the Peace regions, Fort Nelson, the northern coast, Williston area, and Yoho and Kootenay parks, bringing up to 25 centimetres closer to the coast, and 10 to 15 centimetres as the system moves east.

Special weather statements are up for central B.C., with strong winds through the Interior and numerous major highways, with gusts up to 80 kilometres per hour.
