Weather Forecast for Surrey
As of March 9, 2026, Surrey and the surrounding areas of Metro Vancouver are under a special weather statement issued by Environment Canada. This alert indicates the potential for snowfall, with forecasts predicting 2 to 5 centimetres of snow in the region.
Environment Canada has noted that a cool and unstable airmass over the South Coast will bring freezing levels close to sea level before Tuesday morning. The low freezing levels combined with an approaching trough of low pressure will likely produce bands of flurries or showers on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
The special weather statement applies to several cities, including Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby, and Delta. Residents are advised to prepare for the possibility of snow accumulation, particularly in the North Shore mountains and the Surrey Delta Highland, which are expected to see the most significant snowfall.
In addition to the snow, temperatures in Delta are predicted to feel at or below 0°C, with daytime highs only reaching 4°C on Tuesday. Overnight temperatures are expected to dip to 1°C on Monday and Friday, and down to 0°C on Friday night.
To address the cold weather, extreme weather shelters in Delta will be open on March 9 and 10, providing inclusive spaces for women and those in need. These shelters are crucial as temperatures are forecasted to be dangerously low.
Power outages have also been reported in Northern B.C., affecting over 1,300 customers due to strong winds. B.C. Hydro has stated that customers in areas such as Vanderhoof, Granisle, and Fort Babine are expected to remain without power overnight as crews work to restore service.
Drivers are urged to check road conditions before traveling, as icy conditions may pose hazards on the roads. The Coquihalla highway is currently open after a previous closure due to a jack-knifed semi truck, but delays are still reported.
Staff Sgt. Del Byron commented on the situation, stating that transport trucks are still backed up on the highway leaving Kamloops, indicating ongoing challenges in the area.
As the weather continues to develop, residents are encouraged to stay updated on the latest forecasts and advisories. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the weather impact, but preparations are essential for safety during this period of cold and potential snowfall.
