Environment Canada warns of snowfall and hazardous driving on B.C. Interior highways

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 21 May, 2024 09:37 AM
  • Environment Canada warns of snowfall and hazardous driving on B.C. Interior highways

Environment Canada is warning drivers about snow on some southern British Columbia mountain passes that may cause sudden hazardous driving conditions.

The weather office issued special weather statements Tuesday morning for the Coquihalla Highway, Allison Pass, Okanagan Connector, and Kootenay Pass.

It says an upper trough of low pressure will bring cooler air to the southern B.C. Interior in the next couple of days.

Environment Canada says snowfall can be expected through Wednesday morning.

Between two and four centimetres of snow is expected, which the weather office says may cause rapidly changing weather conditions.

It is encouraging travellers planning to take the affected highways to be prepared and monitor snowfall conditions.
